Hi all,

A mate has a block and we don’t know what size it is. We expect that it is a 998.

Any help would be appreciated.

1100 small bore (edit: at a guess, needs to be measured)

Engine number badly re-stamped as 10018638?

Maybe a 998cc thick deck pre A+ (12A497)

[Edit: add 12A497]

Yeah I was skeptical about the ‘engine number’ hence why I took a few photos of different angles.

As above it’s a 998/1098 block. If you can find the number on the crank or measure the stroke on the crank it’ll tell you more.

1001 prefix.
It's a 1098. From a Clubman YG2S7. According to John Smidt's early book.
