well after a rumble around the garage looking for potential pistons i un earth'd a block from the deepest realms of "the corner", and out of curiosity thought i would slip a piston out and have a look so i could compare it the other pistons from blocks that i had (obviously to pick the best ones) as i looked closer i noticed it was totally different to the others i had, and on closer inspection i noticed the numbers 28013 which sure enough is MG metty turbo !!! i cant remember why i took the engine out at the time, but i recall one of them i was having issues with oil pressure.

Depends on what size your block it at, and the same for the pistons too.

tom the piston is exactly same as ones i took out, it just has rings on, the rings have STD on so i presume they are standard ?

Measure them up to be sure, but if they are standard size pistons then putting them into a standard sized honed block should be OK as long as the hone has not removed too much material. I'd recommend checking ring gaps to make sure.

ok will d cheers tom. the block litterally was de glazed so microscopic amount of material will be removed, with regards to ring gap, what is the correct gap for this ringset ? i dont have my haynes book to hand.

ok the piston slides into the bore nicely and the rings hold it in place. i have gapped the top ring by taking it off the piston sliding into the bore, then squaring it up with the top of the piston (if you know what i mean) and the gap is 13 thou (i think it took a number 10 and number 3 on me old feeler gauges)

you can get new rings for these pistons you know, not expensive from MSC.

Measure the ring dimensions as acurately as you can and give these guys a call http://www.performanceunlimited.co.uk/Contents.htm

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

Just looked at the Total Seal catalogue and they list the Metro turbo 'Gapless' ringsets in std, 20, 30, 40,
