If the head is not already off take it off and post some pictures of the valve seats, if they're quite cruddy clean the up with a wire brush in a drill

No factory metro turbo was unleaded. A few dealer conversions were done but not many at all.
So unless it's been done aftermarket it won't be.

Unless I assume it hasn't and treat it as a lead head, thanks for the help
