Off the top of my head its a 1300 the 1600 is AB

i have been told that mine is a 1300cc. mine ends AA. i was told you can tell by looking at teh gap between teh top of the water pump and the bottum of the head. it is a bigger gap on a 1600 but i dont know how big.

I'm led to believe that mine is a 1600 & the number ends BA.....but I'm not 100% sure..

Hi Yawl

As i have been assured BA is 1600 and AA is 1300.
The major problem comes with the internals as the cranks/rods pistons are interchangable between 1300 and 1600 units. The only way to be certain istyo remove the head and measure the stroke.

By: 'mike Stevens'

The 1600 has about 15mm longer stroke so the block is higher. If you look at the side of the block a little way back from the front o/s corner there is a small lump that sticks out with a flat ground top face. If its flush with the top of the block its 1300, if its about 15mm down its a 1600. Hope this helps.

By: 'Mark Young'

Any casting number ending BA is a 1600 block anything ending AA is a 1300 or 1100 block.

On the other hand, If you fancy a bigger one I'll have one for sale soon:
1670cc; Ported, big-valve, unleaded head; double valve springs. As soon as I get my new engine :-) I'll know what else it can go with.

Must be something special to be getting rid of what sounds a sweet little crossflow.

Cheers

By: 'Phil Day'

It's an even sweeter, slightly bigger, shiny, new, crossflow. Problem is that now I seem to need a shiny, new chassis :-(
