errr...... ok if u say so, i wasnt challenging you to prove its a MG metro engine.
I was asking a general question to aquire some knoledge to find out if how can I tell the diffrenct between an MG metro and a non mg. I have one in my gargage and I just wanted to know if it was a MG or not. |I wasnt being funny so whats the point with the caps? theres no need to be a prat is there

Sorry mate i had a bad day at work the blocke that i got the mg engine from it was in the car the 1275 block has a solid cast rear block with no tappet covers its something to do with the gearbox and someting else inside i took it to southam mini metro to have it rebuilt and they said that it was an mg metro engine

Sorry

Thanks
Chewy

the intake valves are bigger, thats the whole point in them. Think its the only way u can tell the difference. The block is exactly the same so ignore it, its all about the head.
