848 and 997cc Cylinder Head Identification
Cylinder head details in this section are appropriate for the 848cc engine used in Minis between 1959 and 1984 and the 997cc engine used in the earliest Mini Coopers built between 1961 and 1963. The 848cc transverse engine was also to be seen in earlier Mokes and a small number of Austin Metro vans, plus in in-line' form, in an even smaller number of Austin A35 vans. The earliest variant of the Mini Cooper was the only BMC/Leyland product ever to receive the 997cc engine.
         
The cylinder head design for the 848cc Mini engine is shared with the standard tune Mini 998cc 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 models) or 12A1456 (later models) are appropriate for 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 997cc Cooper cylinder head was also fitted to various standard tune 1098cc engines, including the single carburetter Austin/Morris 1100 and the 1098cc Minis, plus the high performance 948cc Austin Healey Sprite Mk II and MG Midget Mk I. For identification purposes the casting number is 12G202 and the 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 848 and 997cc 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.

64 CAM289 ROCKER, scintered 8 Third rocker type, 1974 on.
The pressed steel rocker was the first to be fitted, back in 1959. Cooper engines saw the introduction of the stronger forged rocker as a production alternative in the early 1960s, the two types being 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 two types of collet used to retain valves in place on these engines and three types of valve to take them. The earlier 848cc valve design up to the early 1970s and the 997cc valve design had a groove 1/4" deep into which the collets located, whereas later 848cc valves had a groove 1/8" deep, either 7/32" from the valve tip or 9/64" from the valve tip (the latter being the 1981 introduced A Plus type). Care must be taken to ensure that valves, valve caps, valve springs and collets are matched before attempting reassembly. Note also that while the earlier 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.

Original Valves With 1/4" Collet Groove
Replacement Valves With 1/4" or 1/8" Collet Groove
Original 997cc Cooper valves are understandably thin on the ground these days; if difficulty is experienced in obtaining originals, AEA574 (1/4" groove) or 12G3036 (1/8" groove) inlet valves and AEA434 (1/4" groove) or 12G3035 (1/8" groove) exhaust valves may be used in their place. Take care to use the correct collets: 2A11 for 1/4" groove valves, 88G459 collets for 1/8" groove valves.
