hi guys i have a 1275 gt block wit metro turbo pistons, cam and rockers and an avonbar phase 2 head, but i need a crank? would a gt one do or will ii need to upgrade it? i currently have a t3/t4 hybrid charger but i tink its 2 big so i'm gonna get a t2 or equivalent, any advise would be appreciated as i only need a crank, also i'm from ireland!

I have a standard GT one going spare, postage won't be cheap to Ireland though.

Standard crank should be fine. Not all Metro Turbos had hardened cranks.

isnt the gt crank a higher grade steel but the big ends dont have the radius in the corner witch can be a breaking point Yes i moved to the darkside |

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

I think the general verdict is standard cranks are fine On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:
