I bought a type 4 engine with the serial number EA043106. Can anyone tell me what size this motor is?
Thanks! |

Actually, it's difficult to tell from the engine code. We know it STARTED life as a '72/'73 1.7. Until it's torn down, there's no way to be sure what it is.

oh krusty one... excuse my ignorance here, but how do the numbers read? is there a system to them or is it just a rough idea related to lower numbers and up through the years?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) .... IIRC the codes are both at the end of the PET 914 parts catalog, on Jeff Bowlsby's classic 914 website & in the 914 info section on here linked above.
... and .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |
