The guy I just bought my 91 civic ev conversion body from has like 6 metros.. I planned on asking what he wants for each - I saw two when I was there. One had similar rust on the passenger side, and another was kept pristine in a garage. Prob. not cheap. this guy has a bunch of parts too, a pretty awesome guy to have come across, actually. I did see a nice 97 metro shell on CL once for $150 that seemed alright.

It seems like 50% of Metro owners have more than one.

I've looked around, and found a kit on ebay. The seller asks to specify bearing and ring sizes (such as STD, 010 ,020). Anyone know what these would be for a 92 XFi for each item in question on this ebay item's page? I don't have an owner's manual, the online chilton library is USELESS, and a quick search dind't yield anything useful. This site, linked to from suzuki forums also has some good prices, but I don't quite know which ones to get. The only thing I know is that the trans allegedly had the clutch replaced recently, and there is some new-looking red goop that appears to have been applied as a seal leading to me believe the previous owner's claim about the new clutch is true. I want to ensure a long future for this engine, but not waste money doing it.

You need bearing and ring sizes STANDARD unless the engine has been rebuilt before and overbored.
