Gearboxes and diffs may have more info like manufacturing dates cast in

[pwhitehouse]

I've slowly been compiling a list of engine numbers and associated features and I hope now got a fairly full list... but obviously not complete....

If you have anything to add then please post on the bottom of this and I will add to the sheet ( and then remove the post to keep it short and concise )


EDIT: Gold/Silver seal engine numbers, Link, Link 2.

Can anyone help,
I have just bought an a+ series 1275 metro engine, but dont know if it is unleaded or not, the numer by the thermostat housing is 12HA87AA 111188 ,

I've just bought a mini engined automatic trike, and need vto know a bit more about the engine.

Looking on your list the nearest number is 99H 791 which tells me it's an A series 998 with leaded head (v useful to know!) from a mini 74-on. My actual number is 99H 79 ZPH - is there any way I can use this to find out what year the engine was manufactured?

The nearest I can find to that is
99 = 998cc
H = transverse engine
795 = Denotes type of alternator, gearbox, etc the 5 was a guess instead of Z
P = code for carb, dizzy, crank vent system
H = Engine compression
Then engine No 1234 etc

In my '65 Morris Cooper it has a motor from some other car since I couldn't find any of the numbers on the list of engines. My engine has 12H157H1651
I'd say it is a 1275 high compression, but what does the 157 mean?

My other car is a '67 Austin Cooper S and it had a number glued to it (guessing the rebuilder placed a tag after skimming) and it has 7L931708 on it. The motor has tappet covers and a 1275 head on it. On the back where the fuel pump block off is there is only a cast place for the pump and one threaded bolt. Sure is a lively motor, but would like to know more about the two engines if anyone knows?

Hi, my bored 1275 Block has no number on it =(

I was wondering if you can tell the age/year from its cast number?

WFM 1024.

Can anyone help me out here?

[dezshearer]

Pretty much so yes...

Had an alternator and a std ratio A series gearbox on the bottom with a 3.44 final drive.

the *791* engine code was use pretty much across the board, so 85H791 (850) 99H791 (998) and 10H791 (1098), from 1974 upto the introduction of the A+ engine, and the specification of that engine didn't change much in that time.

[liirge]

Cheers guessworks, i thought as much but worth a little try.
Hmm, interesting my engine has a dynamo fitted!!!
