- Have you seen http://www.mgbmga.com/tech/mgb25.htm - the first listing on Google enquiry '18v casting numbers'? Quotes 12H2923 as the head casting number for an 18V672/673 i.e. for North America from

- Thanks for the info and the website reference. However, the engine that this head is on doesn't quite match up with the references. The engine number I have is 18V659M which I'm guessing is probably

- Interesting... My B engine was allegedly a "Gold Seal" engine, and its motor number is not in the Clausager motor number chart, either. Haven't looked at the head number. Mine is built as a non-smog
