Engine number

[Bill Traill]

Rob, The block on my TC is stamped just below the brass octagonal tag "5925". I too noticed this when I first rebuilt the engine and in all the years since no one has ever mentioned this number! I have casually looked for it on a few TCs but either it is not there or the paint too thick. I can't remember if my spare engine is marked...I will check it tonight! Bill Traill DCO: TC #5221

Looks like the engine number on Bob Thomas' XPAG is stamped just below where the octagonal brass plate once was. (See the penultimate photo in his eBay ad http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/e ... =597923796 [img]cid:X.300949338@aol.com[/img] Jim Shade West Covina CA

Can anyone tell me the significance of the number on the replacement engine of my 1949 TC. It is XPAG SC No c23498. On a separate brass plate is the following information - Morris Motors Ltd Replacement Engine. Bore size TDS, Crank size R2, Shop No 11274/4 I've often wondered exactly what they meant. Thanks Anne Downes [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi Anne, My TC 4054 has a similiar engine number - XPAG SC 13909. Apparently it was a single carburettor (hence the SC) XPAG engine from an MGY type saloon. My car was first fitted with this engine in 1949 or 1950 (using old registration records) so perhaps they were used by the factory as replacements, possibly under a warranty scheme?? Someone else might be able to help with more information here - my car doesn't have the other plate that yours does. Cheers, Andrew Clayton TC4054 Melbourne, Australia.

I noticed that the engine number on my car is (brass tag) is also stamped on the block. It appears the the brass tag matches this number. The number stamped on the block is under the tag, but is visible enough to show that it is the same number... My engine is original to my car leaks and all.

Hi all, the number of my spare engine 15839 and the little round plate in the middle shows "Type XPAG S.C." . The plate has the correct octagonal form but fixed on the right front side of the block on a square slightly elevated ground. A TD engine? Best Peter TC 1514

Hi Peter, I assume the drain tap is at the front of the engine just behind the front bearer plate. In any case, I think 15839 SC is an XPAG engine originally in an early MG Y saloon car with 7 1/4" clutch. Same basic engine as an early TD.

hello Peter - SC stands for Single Carburettor, which would make it a Y-type engine, BUT XPAG/TD2/15839 (i.e. 8" clutch) was fitted to TD15788 EXLNA, so either the records are wrong, or this engine somehow found its way back from N. America! ocTagonally Roger

Hi Roger, If SC is Single Carburetor, TC is Twin Carburetor, what can we call three Carburetors for six cylinders ??? Madhu
