Car Forum / MINI / April 2006Engine serial number (sn) identification help
Can anyone help in identifying what car(s)came with motor SN 28G-255-998. I can not find a cross reference. Is there a x-reference website? The head is SN 12G295 and is for 998 Cooper or MG1100 motor. Thanks! > Can anyone help in identifying what car(s)came with motor SN 28G-255-998. That looks like a casting number, not an engine number. The engine number is on the top of the block, level with the join with the head, just in front of #1 cylinder. > I can not find a cross reference.

How can I tell the difference between a 998 and the 1098 engine? I checked the place you indicated. In front on the #1 cylinder is a plate (held down by two phillips screws) imprinted with 28G-255-998. The block is the pre-A+ version (two bolts hold the clamp to the boss. The distributor is then clinched by a nut and bolt thru the clamp). The reason I am curious is because the person I got the car from said it was a "rare mini", but she could not remember why. It is a left hand drive and I believe it was an Italian version, imported into the US, due to the gauge naming (benzolina).

In Australia, the engine number is stamped into the block there, and stays with the motor for life, so you can always tell what the motor was when it left the factory. In the UK they rivet a plate on there, so you can never be sure that the engine number actually belongs to that engine. As for attaching it with screws! It could have come from anywhere! > ... imprinted with 28G-255-998. It may just be a coincidence that it ends "-998" or it may be an engine reconditioner's id plate indicating it is a 998. > The reason I am curious is because the person I got the car from said it > was a "rare mini", but she could not remember why.

Does the body have some sort of a build plate or a body number somewhere? I could not locate any body ID anywhere. I shall check after returning from the Christmas/New Year's Holiday. Thanks for your help. I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year, Hunter > > > > Can anyone help in identifying what car(s)came with motor SN > > > > 28G-255-998.
