Look at where the intake bolts to the head: 3 bolts = 2.0 liter, 4 bolts = 1.7 or 1.8 Next look at the case and find a serial number stamped in. In the archives you'll find what engine equals what, but I think GAxxxx and GCxxxx were 2.0 engines; there are a bunch of combinations. I think you can also find this in the Pelican tech articles.

The muffler is hard to use for engine identification. This is because you can mix-and-match exhaust systems as long as you match the heat exchangers. I.e., you can put a 2.0 muffler on a 1.8 engine as long as you use 2.0 heat exchangers.
I had a similar muffler that looked just like yours. It was for a 1.8 but when I finally acquired a 2.0 muffler, it was virtually identical except the input holes were spaced about an inch further apart. Vern |
