Ok, so i just bought a used engine for my 914 to replace my blown-up old one which was a '75 1.8. The guy I bought the new engine from told me that the engine I was purchasing was a '75 1.8 as well, but I'm not so sure. I know it runs, but now I need to know what kind of engine it is! It is most definitely a VW type 4. As far as I can tell, there are two numbers stamped on the engine. One is directly on top of the crank case and reads W0033863. The other is near the impeller and reads CB092959. What kind of engine is this?!

The WO engine is an early VW411 or 914 engine up to 1972. 1700 CC
The CB engine is also a 1700 from the Type 2 (Van). How an engine would wind up with two codes is very strange. Is the CB code on one of the engine halves, and the WO on the other? If so then the engine case halves are not original mates. The other thing is, the engine is now very old and may have been rebuilt at some point, but without a teardown you might not know what it is you have. |
