We have busted the turbo block mythc on here. But in the wider mini comunity the myth persists so people are happy to shell out for turbo blocks. Silly people. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

Actually I've heard that painting inside a block inside can improve oil return. (obviously not on any bearing surfaces etc)

Thing is people are saying the seller is greedy but it was listed at a reasonable £29 and no-one has forced people to bid on it

Classic case of bidding fever, shame it never happens to anything i put on ebay I once sold a pair of alloy headlamp rings for 85€... Madness! But what's with the 'X' between the core plugs? None of the 1275 blocks I've ever seen had this... I demand an explanation! Xed out core/tooling...? [X] nail here for new monitor |

I wonder if its from when they changed the mains shells to the solid/grooved type? If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

My pukka turbo block does not have that 'X' so that's a load of bolox as well. 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:

Thinking about it we have a block that came out of a y-reg metro that didn't have WFM1024 on it but had solid/groved. Wasn't a turbo engine. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

My Allegro block has a Leyland logo on the back, no writing on the front and solid/grooved mains. But WFM1024 & the 'diamond' sign on the back too. [X] nail here for new monitor |
