Hi,

A damaged metro turbo engine has come up for sale 12HC16AA 101961 and i am thinking of getting it as a spare to build as a more powerful engine.
Is there any difference between the Naturally Aspirated Metro 1300 Block and a Turbo Block?...crankshaft ?
Pistons and Camshaft i know are but anything else?

Also are the cylinder heads the same? apart from the double valve springs.

Thanks. Jeremy
