|
|
Yes, I have already done a search.
Where exactly is the number? I know its on the drivers side between cyclinder 1 & 2, but I cant find shit. The only number Ive found is a number on the passenger side under the extractors.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers. |

Number or name of the engine? The name is behind the timing case just under the 1st inlet runner. It is cast in the block. You might need a mirror. |

Well I looked and degreased it and shit and still couldnt find it. I got a friend to look it up for me and it was previously registered with no engine number. |

Had another look 10 mins ago and I found it. Some of the numbers were almost corroded away, thats why I missed it at first but I managed to get it. Still got me fucked how it was registered without the number before. |
