!?!?!?!HELP!?!?!?! engine number?
« on: Jan 24, 2007, 02:14PM »
hi all
as you can guess i need some help finding the engine number, NOT THE VIN, the engine number.
i have done an engine swap from ka24e to a newer ka24e and now i need to register the swap, on the form it asks for the previous and post engine number, so im not sure if each engine has its own number somewhere on the block, or if the engine number is always and only ka24e . i have looked all over but i still dont know. can anyone help me out? i need to know if it does have a unique number on every block and if so where is the nuimber?

im pretty sure its very close to the distributor, it isnt clearly visible (something partially covers it...) theres a flatt bevel part on the corner of the block, facing upwards...

should start with KA

and do you really have to register the change?? does that mean i have to aswell(VIC)??

yes andrew, you need to let vicroads know....

in order to do so, you need the reciept for your newly purchased engine, and it needs to have the engine number written on it...

take it to vicroads and they'll do the rest...

Okay... for some reason i read your first post wrong and thought u meant u were taking it to be inspected (too much time at the pits for me lately).

for reference this is what i found: http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/licensing/1887.asp

Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand.

to be fair, it wouldn't be ANTRX if we stayed on topic.

and if someone wasn't cranky at Chr1s for something he said...

the ka24 engine number is stamped on the head right in the middle of the stock exhaust manifold. Between exhaust port 2 and 3 just incase you weren't sure.

nah jecks, that says KA24
I think that makes up part of the engine number.
Previous rides: KA24ET TRX,  2000 GUII Patrol 4.2 td, AntrxWA whore TRX owner 4/5, 99 Landrover Discovery TD5
Current Ride(s):  91 GQ Patrol ST-3 RB25DET Converted :)
