If not easiest start may be a big valve MG Metro head and cam.

Confused.com - What do you mean?

[998dave]

If you have an 'normal' 1275cc engine, then buying an MG Metro head and Cam may be your cheapest and easiest start.

The MG Metro head has bigger valves, and the cam is built to match it for a decent performance upgrade over the standard 1275.

MG Metro Cam?

Where is the best place to purchase them?

[998dave]

Get one out of an MG Metro.

Of course there are a number of other cam's available that will be slightly better if you want to buy new.
I'm not an expert, you could try PMing Calver ST for advice.

I buy new, sorry.

I'm not putting 2nd hand parts into my engine.

No problem, I've heard good things about the Swiftune SW5, and then there's obviously kent cams.

Or minispares.com or similar may be able to offer you a head/cam kit that'll work well together.

I'm the proud owner of this..



It has a 1275 fitted, 4 pots & a K&N filter. I'm after a little more power thing is it has 15" wheels fitted.

Instead of changing the wheels (it can be an option) what else can i do to improve power?

What are the best HT leads & plugs?

Oil?

Looks mint, are they any good (Handeling, speed,insurance etc...) got any more pics of the inside + suspension and brakes?

[MDMA]

It's on rails.. No body/cage roll.

4-pots onn the front.
