After a Metro Turbo engine, condition not important cos i will probably rebuild it anyway. So long as basic condition is good, could do with carb, dizzy and gearbox though. |

nope, the shells have a tang that locate in the bearing housings. also one half of the shell is grooved, the other is plain. ill take some photos when i split my engine and box hopefully tomorrow as its a late unleaded metty engine so should be like that. The late Metro bearings are crap. Much better to have main bearings that supply oil around the entire crank. I've seen some Metro blocks with two tangs, I'd use the old type EVERY time... Rather find a late Allegro Block, better material as well! A+ is rubbish... Apart from crank and pistons that is. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Unless you are going for a mega high powered engine, all the blocks are much of a muchness. A lot of people will tell you to avoid linered blocks, I have personally used linered blocks a few times in the past and have had no problems with them, but up to you. The crankshafts are also much the same, some of the early turbo engines had a tougher crank, but as the characteristics of the turbo'd a series are not towards high revs, this is not really essential.
