turbo has bigger 1st motion bearing 

Just the bearing or is the actual case different in size?

[100ev8]

the hole in the case is about 3mm bigger to take the bigger outer bearing race

Ok cheers

Is this really true.

Ive mg metro turbo casings from genuine mg metros and the casings and internal are exactly the same.

Further to this back in the 1990s my old man stripped my mums metro turbo gearbox due to a second gear failure,

we had the metro from new.

He bought a mg metro none turbo gearbox from the scrap yard and took its internal including the bearing and put them into the mg metro turbo casing,

the car in question was a 1990 mk3 metro turbo.

 

Im aware that some of the early metro turbo s had different internals in the engine but no one has ever really comfirmed this.

So does this mean a 998 flywheel housing and a 1275 housing are exactly the same with the non turbo 1st motion bearing?

I'm pretty sure that is so.

Thanks cooperman

[100ev8]

dont think the 998 has a breather hole in the top 

[MIGLIACARS]

the hole is there but is blanked off it can be drilled out.

some 1275 mini s also had it blacked off.

 

some minis and the mg metros  had it opened up from the factory

 

 

Ive both types

[Nick Warwick]

Bump!
