Couple of bits i have left over from recent sale of parts, will take them to Avon Park tomorrow if anyone is interested?

Metro turbo cylinder head. Standard turbo head except combustion chambers have been opened out to 28cc (work carried out by Avonbar). Uses original sodium filled exhaust valves. Sadly the valve guides seem rather warn and are allowing oil to leak down causing the engine to smoke when it was taken off so will need new valve guides etc. apart from that in full working condition and only recently taken off my engine after i got a fully worked big valve job.

SOLD *smiley*

Also still have my T3 after the original buyer fell off the face of the planet. I did give second refusal to someone else, waiting to find out tomorrow if they want it but i will take it to avon anyway so if anyone else is interested let me know and i will give them a shout if i still have it. Description:
T3 turbo on metro manifold. This is actually a T3 based on the series 1 escort RS turbo, basically the same as the metro set up but has slightly larger exhaust housing (0.36 instead of 0.25) so actually breaths abit better at higher revs/boost. Driveability at lower revs is pretty much unchanged (well i couldnt notice it when i swapped from a metro unit). The turbo was bought reconditioned from a turbo specialist about 3 years ago, although only covered around 3000 miles as the mini doesn’t get used much except for shows etc. Running perfectly when removed from my engine, no in/out play on shaft, just the usual slight up down play which is normal for these. Also comes with 8psi actuator from RS Turbo and a (turbo phil) modified/opened out exhaust elbow and exhaust clamp for 2" downpipe.
SOLD *smiley*
