Car Forum / MINI / November 2003Decoding Engine numbers.
Hello all, I think I'm about to stuff a metro engine into my mayfair. Can anyone tell me anything about any perceived difficulties with this? the engine number is 99H907P198031 Can anyone help decode this. Other than the '99H' bit I don't know what the rest can tell me..... Thanks! Tony And Canned was sitting next to Elvis in the spaceship, which I thought was kinda strange, but then they turned to me and said: > Hello all, > I think I'm about to stuff a metro engine into my mayfair. > Can anyone tell me anything about any perceived difficulties with > this? You'll probably need to drill and tap some holes to connect up the heater feed. Also, the Metro engine doesn't have a thermostat bypass, and unless you make some provision for this, you'll likely damage the engine.

Look in the "Engine Number Database" at http://drcwww.kub.nl/~bogaard/heads.htm Engine numbers are often mis-read so it's worth double checking.
