Does anyone by chance have a photo or could take a photo of a rover A+ 998 block.
Specifically the top of the block (no head) So the hole configuration is shown.

Cheers
Aaron

Good idea! Thanks
Threw it up so those at home can see.
Similar to a clubby block it seems.

Bracket lugs for alternator tail end are in the A+ position, otherwise looks to me like a Clubby 998 block, side covers and all.
All 998A+ have side covers.
