can someone tell me where to find the engin number on i think 4afc??

from memory, exhaust side, at the gearbox end of the block on a flat pad (possibly covered in grime), running vertically, big 4A followed by 7 smaller numbers.

sweet. cheers, ill sus it out tomorrow.

ok i give up! where the hell is it??? can some one show me a pic??? please??

its down behind your exhaust manifold, right at the back of the block, below the cylinder 4 exhaust ports.

do u mean under the heat shield and all?? :D what a pain :(

not sure,

 

but its just near the starter motor.

Starter motor on a 4AFC is on the intake side of the block, not exhaust.

oh interseting.

 

sorry thought it was same as 4age.

 

well I'm pretty sure the 4afc and 4age blocks are the same, so it should still be on the exhaust side down the back end somewhere.

16V 4AGEs have the starter on the exhaust side, FEs and 20Vs have it on the intake side. Main reason why the C52 gearbox has two mounting humps for the starter motor (one on each side), and has earned the nickname "Mickey Mouse" (because the bellhousing looks like Mickey Mouse's head/ears)
