What Minis have you?: Mk1 Austin Mini,Mk3 Layland Mini,72Van,81 Clubman Estate, 87 Race carand a 2000 Rover Cooper.
Modifications: Mk1: 998 with flat top slipper pistons, 286 cam, 12G940 head 11:1 compression twin inch and a half SU's 5 speed gearbox. Mk3 998 automatic no mods, 72Van is a pile of rust, , Racer is being built but has the works and the 2000 rover cooper needs an engine again :(
Location: Dublin
That Is the Block casting number for a Small bore A engine If the Head has a casting number 12G295 then you have ider a 997 or 998 cooper engine if the head is 12A----- then you have a standard 998 or 1100 A series engine.

If I was you I would chuck the Cam belt kit and fit a standard timing chain setup it will serve you better those belt kits always end up leaking oil.
regards,
Paul.
