Found this under some shelving in the garage. AEG163. Also has a 2 cast into the thermostat body (underside). Anybody know what is for? Many thanks.

Im interested in the answer to this aswell as I also have one on the shelf in the shed

MK1 Cooper S head, may say they are the best heads for a big bore engine, what are you going to do with it?

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

mk1 s - OK, that makes some sense. It has also been ported and has had 2 dowell pins fitted for (i assume) locating the manifold as the recesses for the locating rings in the inlet ports has been ground away.

I will clean it up and get it crack tested I reckon.

Thanks for the reply

I've been to Hay too!

1999 - Wheel bearing went on the Hay Plain on the way home!
2000 - Engine blew a week before Hay, so I stayed home.
2001- Welsh plug fell out of my new motor. Found a Morris 1100 in a paddock and fitted a second-hand welsh plug from that. It worked fine!
2002 - Didn't go - had to work.
2003 - Trailered the Mini behind my 4x4. No problems.
2004 - Didn't go - had to work.
2005 - I will be there!!

Just wondering what is different about these heads "AEG 163", cause when I remember looking at the one i have inthe shede, I cant remember it being much different to a normal one?

11 stud for a start, big valves, scollops around the inlet & exhaust ports, give it to me if it in the way of you
