Let's say you and your buddies come across a pile of stock T4 engines (VW and Porsche), what are some easy ways to know what size the engine is? For example, all 1.8 and 2.0 engines have 3 studs to hold the intakes to the head while the 1.7 uses four. That's just an example and I'm not 100% positive that's correct but you get the idea. Thanks!

If I came accross a pile of motors, I would look at the serial numbers and the heads.
the serial numbers will give you a good idea what it is. On a 1.7 or 1.8, if it was rebuilt, it did not get smaller...so your safe. On a 2.0 liter..ditto. The serial numbers, an educated guess as to if the case has never been open..there are signs to look for...30 year old grease, just a basic look of a stock motor...a rebuild will have been cleaned..so there you go.
