Engine identity?

Post by gertie6car »

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what the is from the following numbers stamped on the cases? These are bare cases. I need a replacement set to rebuild mt 1990 E2 and want to check out if these will be ok. Any help would be appreciated.
All the best

the 10th digit is the model year. For 1990 it should be an "L". The 90-94 E models and the 95 H all used the same cases. so any 10th digit of L, M, N, P, R, S should work, but a good visual inspection would be in order as well.

Wow! 173. That is 1989. I strongly suggest you check the parts diagrams to see if they have the exact same full part number as 1990. There are a few parts that, by part number alone, are different than 1990 - 1994.

bufftester: engine number, not VIN (only a frame number in UK anyway, no VIN)

Yeah, after rereading I realize that was the VIN decode data. EE000001 - EE006000 are 89 and 6001- 019000 are 90 from what I can tell.

I would assume 1990.
