The number you quoted above (12ha08aa) is not a turbo engine, and no 1.3 Metro had the 3.1 iirc.

Spending a couple hours checking what the engine number where online, that was the only information i could find! I Started to get the engine ready for removal from the bay and i doubled checking the head numbers. I'm pretty sure now it's not a turbo head just a normal 12g940. (Must of been wishful thinking)

chances are it'll need a rebore or at least a hone, do you have access to a bore gauge? if you can get away with a hone you can use total seal rings on the std turbo pistons, (if thats what you have)

well fisrst thing is see how the bores measure up, if theres wear ( and that pretty likly) then you'll be looking at a rebore to +20 so new pistons, and if your getting new pistons, then see what you can get in cc options, often the lager dishes are only in forged versions, so depends on your budget, depends if you can stretch to the 500 quid for a forged set, basically your options are 10cc cast, or 18cc forged.

Hard to tell you what pistons they are from that description.

When both pistons are side by side the piston rings line up, piston hieght is the exact same and the cc are the same ECT the only difference is the skirt.
