912 Engine serial number
Hello
I can't find the serial number the normal spot? It says Made in Germany and looks original. See attached picture below. Any help would be great. The car is a 1968 and I hope the engine is the same. Thanks. HOjer

Generally a factory replacement motor did not have a serial number. Also the rear motor mount is not correct for a 68. This one was used in the 65 and verily early And the dog house is for a 65-67 motor.
66.  The 68 motor is very dirty. However, you can see what you are missing on your motor

That has to do with the emissions for 68. It was required for 68 only. There was also a air pump on the driver's side which has been removed from this motor.
Also the stamps on the case will be 616/36 on the 68 and a very late case 616/39. It looks like you have the early small generator and that would mean that you had a early 68 motor. They went to a larger generator with the 616/39 motor or very late 616/36 motor. I should of added this in the original post. |
