Mg metro engine
Discussion
Same basic1275cc A+ engine with:
High compression pistons (Giving 10.4 to 1)
Longer Duration Cam fitted - Part No. CAM6648 Fitted
Different Advance curve (Lucas and urrgh Ducellier units)
Anti Run on Valve fitted (on metro's) stop them 'dieseling' on shutdown.
HIF44 carb fitted
Factory Water heated alloy inlet manifold. Cast Iron 3-branch exhaust.
Big valve head from the factory - 35mm Inlet/29mm exhaust (STD)
72bhp as standard quoted ex-factory - later ones that ran on unleaded a little less due to a reduction in ignition advance.
Good laugh as a drop in unit in a Mini - although the spec can bettered with later tuning technology (SW5 cam) and still be tractable/economical.
Can't off the top of my head remember the identifying prefixes.
Guru will be along in a minute...
