ENGINE NUMBER?

Post Wed Jul 05, 2006 1:55 pm

i have already asked this question but where is the number on the block? i was told by someone on the forum that it was on the 3rd cylinder on the inlet side. i had a quick look the other day but couldnt find it. do i need to take any parts off to view it or just get my eyes tested?

The engine number is usually on the inlet side right down above the block/sump joint stamped into a raised area of the block.

Does this apply to a M20 ??

Definately applies to the M20 but also to the other E30 engines iirc.
