Sounds like the engine has been run too lean and the damage is caused by pinking. Do you know if the engine had been run on LPG? if so the ignition
can be too advanced for petrol so you can get pinking when you switch fuels.

Get yourself over to the home of all Rover V8 knowledge and ask your question!
