This episode of the Classic Mini Survival Guide will be on motor identification.
How to tell the A series from the A+ motor.
The motor used in the classic mini is referred to by what series and size it is.
The series is either A or A+
The sizes range from 850, 997,998, 1071, 1098, 1275

The focus of this episode is to help with identification of the engine series through various casting differences.

The Classic Mini Survival guide is a series of short videos where I will be breaking down various skills and tasks required to keep your classic mini in top running condition.

As I work on minis, I am constantly finding problems with general maintenance items such as spark plugs, valve gaps, ignition timing, etc...

I see these as tasks which any owner is capable of doing and yet I do not find them to be happening correctly, if at all.

My goal with this series is to educate and inform the Mini community so that we keep more of these cars on the road. The better they run, the more they get used and appreciated by others.

If you have a suggestion for a topic, let me know in the comments below each video.

Thanks for watching
Darren
