Engine number

Post by **mr moo** » Mon Jan 16, 2023 12:25 pm

I'm having a hell of a time trying to convince various sellers that my car is a 24v probe, for the exhaust. Give my reg no. And they say it won't fit even though advertised as fitting the 24v. A seller is asking for my engine number too, and the V5 says not stated... Where is the engine number physically?

Thanks, put the listing number I'm and the one I bought came up, even though the seller said 'from the reg no., and if the engine is DOHC it should fit' . The DOHC bit worried me, and I replied telling him the engine code KL, quad cam, 24v etc, but it's posted anyway, I just hope it's a big bore, as the 16v small bore restriction after the cat didn't do my performance or fuel economy much good!

It's definitely a 24v but the seller stated the exhaust was ok by the registration number but he also mentioned DOHC, but if I do a search on my registration number it comes back as a 24v, so I don't know where he got DOHC from

Oh and I totally removed the casting where the sticker goes as I've polished my inlet manifold

Yes I am aware of the difference between quad cam and double overhead cam, I have built enough engines to know the difference, my point is the 24v is NOT A DOHC LIKE THE EXHAUST SELLER INSISTS! I was looking for a foolproof method of ensuring I got the correct part like OEM part number, etc
The 16v is a traditional DOHC, 1 camshaft for 8 inlet valves and 1 per 8 exhaust valves.
The 24v is not a DOHC, QUAD cams each cam operating 6 valves
