Hey guys, I have just acquired what I think is a mini K engine--

Engine--10 H 159A-H107047
Head--12G202

Has remote, and the tappet cover with the aussie breather on top, also chest covers on the back

Any idea what year ??
Cheers
Colin

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.

Nope that's for a Clubby, or Moke maybe.

Mini K engine prefix is 10YJ/U/H , according to both the PUB1038 Mini K parts book and the Mini Car Clinic cattledog.
Mini King cattledog says it's 10YC/Ta/H.

make of this what you will.

*waits for Morris 1100 to chime in...*

Everyone I have seen and have on the register is 10YC/Ta/H

Yeah the /U/ didn't sound right to me, U = centre shift (eg 850 or early Moke)

There's the prefix for the Morris 1100 cc too.

10yc/ta I pick as a k 1100

You are correct kev 10YJUH is the long gear lever type (Similar To the 850 ) as Fitted to what most of us call the Mini K Van, among others. Mini King Book has 10YCTAH as Mini K sedan and 10YJUH as Mini K Van

If it is just "10H" then that's a pommy 1098 from one of their clubmans... the rest of the number certainly looks like a pommy engine number. Is it stamped into the block or on a plate?

cheers,

Jacob

Just goes to show that not everything printed in a BMC/BL parts book is gospel.

John, off topic but related-why do all the books say a Mk2 Matic body is YA2S4, I have owned 2 (1969 and 1970) and both were YA2S5?

Can't take this as gospel (or close to it) but it lists that number/variants as belonging to the AD016 (land crab) shape Austin.

EDIT

http://www.mgcars.org.uk/mgccz/technic/codeseng.pdf

again 10H/--/h is listed as a prefix for austin/morris/wolseley FWD 1098cc
