Hi all, Trying to keep this messageMG orientated as we are in danger of becoming an IT chat room! Seriously though could the recent threads on replacement engine no,s regarding AEG no,s refer to the type of camshaft? I have an AEG 122 cam in the TB not original but the equvilant of a half race cam I believe. Regards Ron Benson. TB

Ron Thanks for your input re replacement engines the ref no. on my engine AEG12Aor2(difficult to decipheron the plate) could refer to the cam, as it was rebuilt in 1990 for the Monte Carlo Challenge with a Shorrock supercharger by Steve Baker and the cam could well have been changed? I have not been able to find all thedetails of the mechanical rebuild these are gradualy coming to light Regards Paul TC3348

The BMC replacement engine plate has nothing to do with the 1990 rebuild you mentioned. BMC no longer existed (at least not under thast name) in 1990, and had stopped supplying rebuilt XPAG engines MANY years earlier. I'm not aware of an "AEG12A" or "AEG2A" camshaft. I'm more inclined to believe it is the BMC part number for the rebuilt engine, but I have no documentation to back up that belief.

Chip, I think you are correct. The part number AEG12A is similar to p/n in the early 60's-late 50's for other rebult power units from BMC. I believe that Leyland began to destroy BMC when they ate it in 1967-68. Best, Ray (MG's paid for college!)
