did not think to outbid fellow morris minor members

Hello SR,

isn't there a cast 1100 on the LH side of the block?

Alec

ello alec , no mate ,but there is a blanking plate ,now then!!! , pic on weblink

So that wouldn't make it an 1098 then? Or isn't that for the mechanical fuel pump?

Hi Steve

I didnt think the 1098 had the blanking plate - the diameter of the bores should tell you the engine size.

Rog

probably onne,just been reading dennis post on crankcase breathing
ROG,can i mmaeasure accuratly with a tape? bores r 65mm diameter,132mm deep

If it has the blanking plate, it was an Austin engine, not a Morris one. No other difference really, 'cept it may have neen intended for low compression, but I think that only affected head/pistons

Steve

Yes worth a go - 1098 is 64.58mm bore & 948 is 62.94mm bore - only 1.5mm diff but you should be able to tell?

Rog

cheers andy,this one has a leyland logo on the side too,cant say ive noticed that on my other engines

Haven't seen that before

Looked like gen 1098 block to me - well bought. The 202 head is nothing exciting - just the standard head for that engine.
