Engine rebuild question
hi i’m new here. I have a R56 Cooper 07 with n12b16a engine. Something went in my engine and destroyed two pistons and 8 valves. I am now looking to score used pistons.
My question to you guys is if i can use N16b16a pistons? I have found valves and valve stem seals by now. So if i could use these pistons my engine would be almost complete. Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.

According to Realoem.com, the S pistons have a different part number than the non-S.

Ok that's great. Can't wait to get my Cooper up and running. These pistons will be shipped this way from across the globe. That why i needed to make sure they fit. The N12b14 piston do differ i guess?
Thanks for helping out!
