Ello peeps. I've searched and searched but can't find any info on the problem I have. I acquired so 'turbo' pistons ages ago and have a query about rings. Most of the standard pistons I see have 3 grooves for rings however mine have 4. Whats the deal with these then lads???

They are not Metro Turbo Pistons. They look like Early A+ 1275 +0.030" pistons to me On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
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:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

Your bang on right sprocket. I've just dug out a standard A+ block out and tried to drop them in and guess what, they don't fit the bore. Bugger!!!! |

Keep the pistons. It's easy to fit .040 rings to them if you've got the correct tool to grind them down. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

I've just used a pipette on the piston dish and I'm getting 21ml. I've googled how to convert this to cc and it says it's the same. If so then this is a massive bowl, or am I just being a retard???

A millilitre is the same as a cubic centimetre Geoff |

Well I thought I was going mad but I'm definatly not. Measured them again and getting 20+ ml in there. I've used a medicine spoon this time and poured in x4 5ml and it's just shy of the sides.
