Hi, I am currently in the process of trying to get as much information about the engine inside my mini.
I have managed to get some information from the identification tag on the engine but would like some help ith finding out what some of it means.
The identification tag says "RKM1133E 12160" (This may be incorrect slightly as is very faded)
From the RKM1133E, I have gathered some information including:
- Factory replaced engine
- It's a 1275cc silver seal for a 1300GT(ADO16) and 1300, with an 11 stud cylinder head
- The RKM means it was of UNIPART origin when BL split its parts organization
- The E at the end means it is reconditioned and a service unit only with no ancillaries?
However, what does the "12160" mean?
Furthermore, I have also worked out it is an A series engine and has a possibility of being a big bore.
I am confused on what the "Silver seal" means and what the "UNIPART origin when BL split its parts organization" means?
I understand what it means by reconditioned means but what about no ancillaries? Is this something I need to look into?
Thank you for any help, let me know if you need any more information I will do my best to provide the information. Thanks.
