Just bought a MG1100 engine - but can´t find the head id... Hopefully it´s a 12g295/206 - but I can´t find any familiar numbers. It has double springs though... and a funny pipe on the back of the thermostat. And where do I put the water temp sensor? Engine is 10GRB-TA-H74039... MG1100 right?

But - the main question is - is this head a 12g295 or what? Did I buy the wrong engine :ohno:

Ouch!!! So - someone probably robbed the head of this engine and put it in a Minor?!

I had such big plans - what should I do now? I guess this head isn´t a winner...

Opened up! What´s these pistons? They took the MG-pistons aswell, didn´t they?

These are dished, stamped MOWOG / 2013 / r11...

How can I tell if there still is a 1098 crank/pistons in this engine? Been googling the pistons number (2013 - easy too google this year  ;D ) with no luck...

If I should measure the stroke length - how would I do that and what shall I get? I really don´t want to put more work into this engine...

I´m a bit embarrased I bought it without checking the head casting...

That is an unusual place for a connection by the thermostat housing. Double valve springs are not normally found on a 629 head so someone has done some work to it, what are the combustion chambers like?
