Type 33 and 37 cylinder heads on x-flows
Could someone please check thge Haynes book? It says the 1600 head has a type 37 stamped on it whereas the 1300 has 33. I have found the stamping (by
removing rocker cover) and mine is a 37, even though it's off a 1.3 car. I know the head may have been changed, but it looks original, and the car
was relatively low mileage (70k).
Also, the engine types. I have a list of what they all are, but where do I find it? The block has the 711M number and also T19 on it but not a
recognisable engine type. . .. .

I'm not an expert as I've recently started a build on my and I had the same questions. What I'd do is check the valve sizes as it's most likely
that you have a 1300GT/Ghia head which is a good one to have: -
Inlet Valve 1.50"
Exhaust Valve 1.24".
The 711m block is the best one again to have as it has the stronger bottom end. If it ends in BA it's a 1600cc and if it ends in AA it's a 1300cc
most likely, although it could still be a 1100cc as they share the bore and it's the stroke that is different.
Hope this helps !!

You'll find most 1300's have "37" Heads.
1100 block is identical to 1300 block, but as explained previously is shorter than 1600.
It is only early small capacity pre-crossflows that have three bearing cranks.
