Title: What Engine Do I Have?
Post by: Stephan Schmidt on July 07, 2006, 09:07:18 PM

This is engraved on my block:

1 6082932

underneath this number is another code which reads:

W5

The more info on what motor I have the better.

Thanks, Stephan

I'm not DVKK, but where on the block is the number? The motor could be just about anything if it has been rebuilt. The engine number doesn't look like anything stock ( maybe an after market case). Not real sure about the real old ID markings. All the ID numbers I'm used to seeing start with letters.

this number was taken from the block - right under the generator stand.
