that b6 asket looks nothin like any a series gasket i have ever touched.

the bores a closer together, the holes for coolant etc dont look any where near the right spots.

E series looks easier by far, and that vauxhaul one (probably the vectra here, early model ones not barina)

what about a motorcycle head like sikyne?




yes thats an A series under there!

what head is that? and how many kw is it making?

It is making no kw, it is just sitting there. These engines have never been run as far as we know.

It looks like they have put a A series engine in a mini with a twin cam head

I thinkthats an austin A series.. pretty far remooved from the datsun a series.


sikyne's is much more compleat than it is in that pic.

so wats the verdick any easy swaps yet

In the UK they have adapted BMw K100,K1100 heads to mini a series engines with some work maybe worth looking at for a datto conversion.Early K100 were 2 valve late K100Rs and K1100 were 4 valve.

yeah my fren was a mini mech . he say they use bmw motorbike head on mini.. and some of them use a series on minis..

The early K100 was 2 valve and looked like this



Head gasket for the BMW bike looks like this
