Came across this last night. Don't remember seeing it posted on this forum before.
It is a very detailed description of all the A series heads and background on the various casting marks and numbers.

Used to be one on Keith Calver's site too ... not as detailed though!

The forerunner of the Mini .. the A35 .. lots of similarities except rear wheel drive. My engine contains a lot of Mini parts now and the bodyshell some Metro brake parts!
