I order to solve my leaded/unleaded problem i managed to find a brand new TPi head for £80,

Aside from the different hose work and heater valve and Temp sender unit can anybody think of any potential issues?

Its being fitted to a metro 1275 A+ no 12HC01

TPI??????

[Cartera619]

Twin point injection AKA multipoint injection from a late cooper i think the guy said 2000

errr yeah...the alternator bracket is attached to that is it not?

[minipip]

ohhhhh got ya! an Mpi! sorry thts all iv know it as.

[Cartera619]

There are threads for the alternator to go on but the bracket itself is separate so i don't think that'll be a problem.

Does anyone know if the head is different performance wise compared to a standard 1275 head, eg valve sizes

I don't think it will work as I *think* the MPi/TPi block has different oilways?!

No important differnces between this and a Metro A+ head. valves will be 33mm and 29mm.

[Cartera619]

do you know how i can find out about the oil ways, i'm having a pro fit it as i haven't got the tools at home so they should know that right?

see my post above
