Head work
Turbo Mini Forums

Does this head look too long new to have work done on it. I here Benross is the man to open up the chambers for me.
It has been lieing around for a while so i know its needs alot of work ie new valve guides Valve seats and valves. Would Like the chambers open up to lower my cr so i can turbo it mybe 10 ,15 psi nothing silly.





It was of a sprite 1275. I noticed that the valves were small than my mg head that i have as well.

If you've already got a NA MG Metro head with the 36mm inlet then you'll be much better off using that. You could modify it or if on a real budget stick it on as it is.
That rusty heads going to take a lot of work to get it up to spec.

I guess that exhaust valve seat easily can be cleaned up with a 31mm valve. If this fails, install some unleaded seats. Easy

The inlet seat looks serviceable.

Done much worse but it does make sense to go with the MG one if you have the choice

yeah i know what you mean. Ive just rebuilt the mg engine and its runnig lovely. But ive had a change of heart and im going turbo no matter what. I,d like to low the cr a bit to be safe side. Thats why id do this other head....

Just picked up a scrap metro to night the man said it had a 1100cc engine but need to get a look at see what head is on it. It prob' a 1000cc. but at least i can get the brakes of it.
