Engine - Identification data

5 September 2003

 

If you have the engine tag still attached to the engine - just in front/below the thermostat housing - or perhaps the original engine number in the log book then the following should help you determine which engine you have.

For Metro units, see 'Engine - Metro identification data'.

Notes:

All engines pre-fixed with 'GSE' or 'RKM' were of UNIPART origin when BL split its parts organisation.

 

'E' at the end of a part number denotes it is a reconditioned, service unit only (basic engine assembly with no ancillaries).

 

'N' at the end of a part number denotes a brand new unit.
