970, 1071 and 1275cc Cooper S Cylinder Head Identification  
Cylinder head details in this section are appropriate for all variants of Cooper S engine, built between 1963 and 1971.  Three cylinder head designs were used,
identifiable by casting numbers 12A185, AEG163 and 12G940.  All three will fit any capacity Cooper S engine and all three are interchangeable as complete 
assemblies.  This does not, however, mean that all components can be easily swapped between them.  
         
All Cooper S cylinder heads are referred to as 'eleven stud' heads because of the attachment method to the cylinder block (actually inaccurate since ten studs and 
a bolt are used); all other Mini cylinder heads are attached with nine studs.  The two extra fixings are clearly visible at either end of the rocker cover, the gasket flange 
of which is notched to accept them.  The only other BMC/Leyland engine to be fitted with an eleven stud cylinder head was that to be found in the high performance 
derivatives of the Austin/Morris 1300 (1300 GT, MG 1300 etc.) and the Italian-built Innocenti Mini Cooper 1300, and indeed the cylinder head fitted was the 1969-71 
Cooper S item.  This does not mean however that the 1300 GT engine is a Cooper S engine, since there are many other differences between them, including the 
engine block itself, but it still makes a very desirable power unit to transplant into a Mini.    
         
The first Cooper S cylinder head, introduced on the 1071cc model in 1963, was marked with the casting number 12A185 and additionally may be identified by
a yellow colour coding.  The valves fitted are distinctly larger than those in the cylinder heads of non-Cooper S Minis - the inlet valve is 1 13/32" (35.6mm) in 
diameter and the exhaust valve is 1 7/32" (31mm) in diameter.  Additionally, the valves are uniquely manufactured in Nimonic 80 (EN214N) steel and use double 
valve springs.      
         
Towards the end of 1963 a new cylinder head casting was introduced, marked with the part number AEG163 and colour coded blue or brown.  The only difference
between the 12A185 and AEG163 castings is a production modification in the internal oil ways in the later casting; it affects neither performance nor reliability of 
the head. The valves, valve springs and rocker gear all continued unchanged from the 12A185 head.  The AEG163 cylinder head was fitted from late 1963 through 
to 1969 and thus saw use on the last 1071cc engines, all 970cc engines and all but the last 15 months or so of 1275cc engine production. 
         
The 12G940 cylinder head casting was officially introduced on the 1275cc Cooper S engine at the beginning of Mini Mk III production, for the 1970 model year.
Alongside the casting number in the centre of the top face of the head, the other identifying mark is the part number 12G1805 stamped by the thermostat housing.
It may well also have been fitted to the last few Cooper S Mk IIs; this is difficult to prove, not least because the factory parts and service department soon
offered the 12G940 head as the only replacement for all Cooper S heads, meaning that a significant number of 1960s cars are now fitted with them.  Using the
eleven stud 12G940 head on the Cooper S saved manufacturing costs through component sharing with other models (the aforementioned Austin/Morris 1300 and
Innocenti).        
         
It also improved Cooper S cylinder head reliability, for a small cost in performance, since smaller exhaust valves in the 12G940 head allowed for more material to 
be left between the inlet and exhaust valves; this area was prone to cracking on the 12A185 and AEG163 heads.  The inlet valve size on the 12G940 is, as 
previously, 1 13/32" (35.6mm) diameter, but the exhaust valve size is reduced by 1/16" to 1 5/32"(29.4mm) diameter.  The valves are made from standard, not 
Nimonic, material and have longer stems to compensate for the higher valve spring seat on the 12G940 casting.  Thus even the inlet valves are not directly 
interchangeable with earlier Cooper S items, though their diameter is the same.    
         
The nine stud fixing 12G940 cylinder heads used on other 1275cc BMC/Leyland/Austin Rover engines are not, of course, capable of being fitted to a Cooper S 
engine without very costly modification - they usually have smaller valves than the eleven stud 12G940 (MG Metro etc. excepted) anyway.
         
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 included valve guides 
and studs or valve guides 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 970, 1071 and 1275cc 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.

gaskets (one extra to cater for other 1275cc Mini engines with sandwich plates), HS2, HS4 and HIF carburetter gaskets, rocker cover gasket, plus heater take-off 
gasket.  The rocker cover gasket will require two small notches to be cut in it to allow for the extra Cooper S cylinder head fixings.  Valve stem oil seals are not 
included in the set, leaving customers to choose the type and quantity they need and order them separately.

61 12G1221 ROCKER, forged 8 Original item.
62 CAM289 ROCKER, scintered 8 Replacement item.
Only forged rockers were fitted to Cooper S engines when built.  However, after the introduction of the scintered rocker on other A Series engines in 1974, either
forged or scintered rockers were offered as replacement parts.  The forged rocker is acknowledged as the stronger of the two and is of course correct for originality.
However 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, plus the rocker spacing washers, are correct for the type of rocker.  
Note that the forged rockers have replaceable bushes, whereas scintered rockers do not.    
         
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.

70 AEG168 DISTANCE PIECE, exhaust rocker 6 For forged rockers.
71 2A18 WASHER, double coil, outer ends of shaft 2 For scintered rockers.
The distance piece AEG168 is used to shim forged rockers on their shaft correctly over the exhaust valves.  It is only required on big bore (970, 1071 and 1275cc) 
cylinder heads, where the valves are spaced further apart than is the case on other A Series engines.  The wider scintered rockers do not require these shims, so 
instead revert to the more usual A Series set up of using double coil (or 'Thackery') washers at either end of the rocker shaft.

Valve Guides and Valve Seat Inserts    
Originally on the 12A185 and AEG163 cylinder heads the valve guides were different for inlet and exhaust valves.  The 12G940 head had a single valve guide
design, and this is now offered for all Cooper S cylinder head applications.  This valve guide, 12G1963, will accept the later 'top hat' type valve stem oil seal 
(ADU4905) if required.

Valves and Valve Springs    
As stated in the introduction to this section, the valve stem lengths are particular to the cylinder head castings found on Cooper S models, as are exhaust valve 
diameters.  The age of the car provides no guarantee as to which cylinder head will be present.  Please check your casting number and valve sizes before ordering 
replacements from Somerford Mini.  A range of uprated valves, valve springs and caps to suit most uses are also available from Somerford Mini; please contact us 
for details.
