Definitely NOT a Police number.

Pommie number I would say. They were the ones who used plates with engine numbers.

Could be a 694cc motor :wink:

that's a wierd one!!

it's fairly simple to determine the capacity from the outside... of course, just check that there isn't a tag rivetted to the back of the motor ;)

and this is assuming it's not a heavily modified motor, IE stroked, or a big bore head on a small bore or whatever, which is pretty uncommon

step 1/ is it a 'big bore' - ie 1275, 1071, 970 - you tell that by placing your thumb between the thermostat housing and the rocker cover, if it fits, then it is a big bore

step 2/ measure the stroke - get a piece of wire and poke it down one of the spark plug holes, and keep it dead vertical. Get someone turn the engine over by hand while you hold on to it, and put a mark on it (relative to the edge of the spark plug hole) where the piston is at it's highest and lowest piont. Measure between the 2 marks and there's your stroke

then refer to this page to work out which one it is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMC_A-Series_engine

IE a 998 will be 76.2mm (won't be a 948 as they weren't east-west)

I'm 99% sure it'll be a 998, since the plate is rivetted on, it wouldn't be an aussie motor, they didn't have many 1100's in UK, or it might be a south african motor, in which case you might be sitting on a 1071

So what were the engine numbers on the "few" 1100's ???????

Did the pomgolians ever fit 1100 motors from the factory ????

Na don,t think its a pomme number. I have a 998 cooper engine with a strange engine number. Sometimes in the case of my engine, the race tuner puts there own number on to identify their engines.

It is not an 1100 number (it is not a Mini number either)
1100s were not fitted to Minis in the UK as far as I can make out.

1100 engines were fitted to some Mini models in the UK, like the Mini Clubman 1100 and also the first edition Mini Sprite, I think?
