998 and 1098cc Cylinder Head Identification    
Cylinder head details in this section are appropriate for the 998cc engine used in Minis between 1963 and 1992 (including Riley Elf, Wolseley Hornet and Cooper 
models) and the 1098cc engine used in Minis between 1975 and 1981.      
         
The cylinder head design for the standard tune 998cc Mini engine was shared with the 848cc engine, but not the 998cc Cooper unit. It was also shared with 
other BMC model engines, including 803 and 948cc units to be found in Morris Minors, Austin A30, A35 and A40 models and the 'Frogeye' Austin Healey Sprite 
Mk I.  Only the castings marked 2A628 (usually earlier A Series), 12A1456 (later A Series), CAM4005 (air injection type) and CAM4180 (A Plus, 1981 on) are 
appropriate for the standard tune 998cc Mini - the outwardly similar 2A629 is not.  The other obvious distinguishing feature of this cylinder head is the inlet valve
diameter, which at just 1 1/16" (27mm) is the smallest of any A Series head design.    
         
The 998cc Cooper cylinder head was also fitted to high performance 1098cc engines, including the MG, Wolseley, Riley Kestrel and Vanden Plas Princess 
1100 models, plus 1098cc Austin Healey Sprites and MG Midgets.  For identification purposes the casting number is 12G206 (only on the earliest produced heads) 
or 12G295 (on the vast majority), while inlet valves are 5/32" larger than on the standard 998cc head at 1 7/32" (31mm) diameter.  As far as flow characteristics are
concerned, the number 12G295 is writ large in Mini tuners' folklore.  It is wholeheartedly recommended for uprated small bore A Series engines for any application 
other than full race.      
         
The Mini 1098cc cylinder head design also saw use on several other engines including the single carburetter Austin/Morris 1100, the 948cc Austin Healey Sprite 
Mk II and MG Midget Mk I and the earliest incarnation of the Mini Cooper, the 997cc model.  For identification purposes the casting number is 12G202 and inlet 
valves are 1 5/32" (29.4mm) diameter.    
         
At various times during A Series engine production, new and reconditioned cylinder heads from the factory were either in 'assembly' or 'bare' condition.  
Assemblies usually included studs, valves, valve springs and guides (but not rockers, rocker shaft and pedestals) whereas bare heads usually included valve guides 
and studs only.  These states of build were however not hard and fast, so if you are offered a new or reconditioned factory cylinder head on an exchange unit 
scheme you should establish before ordering exactly what you will receive, to guard against the possibility of giving away components on your old head that you 
will still need in future!        
         
Rebuilt or Repaired 998 and 1098cc Cylinder Heads    
Somerford Mini Ltd. offers a bespoke cylinder head rebuilding and repair service.  In our experience, a large number of customers require some degree of modification
to their cylinder heads and as a result, whether you want a standard head or one that is uprated to any degree, we ask you to contact us to discuss your requirements.
It would be helpful if you could also supply us with the details of your engine: full engine number (if known) and type (capacity, high or low compression, gearbox,
breathing system, etc.), plus any existing modifications.  The more you can provide us with, the better we can help you.  All of our cylinder heads are built to 
run on lead-free fuel, unless you specify otherwise.

66 12G1221 ROCKER, forged 8 Second rocker type.
67 CAM289 ROCKER, scintered 8 Third rocker type, 1974 on.
Pressed steel rockers and the stronger forged rockers were used in standard and high performance engines as alternatives both in production and the parts 
department until 1974, when the scintered rocker was introduced.  The scintered rocker was used in all engine production from that time onwards, although 
the pressed steel and forged types continued to be offered as alternative spare parts for earlier cars.  For normal road use it does not matter which type of rocker 
is used, so long as (i) all eight on the rocker shaft are of the same type; (ii) all eight are either the same age from the same engine or are new; and (iii) the tappet 
adjusting screws and nuts are correct for the type of rocker.  Note that the forged rockers have replaceable bushes, whereas the other two designs do not.
         
The pressed steel rocker listed here, 2A964, is the original 'small bore' A Series item; the 'big bore' (1275cc) equivalent listed elsewhere in the Somerford Mini 
catalogue is 12G1313.  The difference in theory between the two is a marginal increase in lift with the 'big bore' rocker, although in practice this is often swallowed 
up by assembly tolerances.  Concerning forged rockers, again originally there were small and big bore engine variants, but since the big bore item is the one 
available (and it works perfectly well on a small bore engine), that's the one we list here.  There were no small or big bore variants of the scintered rocker - one type 
fitted all.        
         
Several designs of high-lift and roller rockers are also available for tuning purposes, along with special valve springs to avoid coil binding, if necessary.  Please 
contact Somerford Mini for details of these and other engine tuning parts.

Valves and Valve Springs    
There are three types of collet used to retain valves in place on these engines and four types of valve to take them.  The earlier valve designs 
up to the early 1970s had a groove 1/4" deep into which the collets located, whereas later valves had a groove 1/8" deep, either 7/32" from the valve tip (early 1970s 
to 1980) or 9/64" from the valve tip (the 1981 introduced A Plus type).  Finally came the last variation, from 1984 onwards, where the collet located into an easily 
identified triple groove on the valve.  Care must be taken to ensure that valves, valve caps, valve springs and collets are matched before attempting reassembly.  
Note also that while the early large groove collets were originally secured together with circlips, around 1969 these were judged to be adding nothing to the 
security of the collets and were discontinued.    
         
A range of uprated valves, valve springs and caps to suit most uses are also available from Somerford Mini; please contact us for details.
