how to know its a 2.0 engine
 

I would like to fine out how to determain the engine code for 2 .0 ,and where its located on the engine.... Thanks Frank

the codes are

1.7 l is W, EA, or EB Located near tranny mounting flange, passenger side on top of engine case.

1.8 l is EC, or AN Simular to 1.7

2.0 l is GA, or GB Located near oil filler, near fan housing on top of case.

BUT, many, many engines are no longer what they started life as so the only way would be to measure it to absolutely sure.

GC code is also a 2.0 engine. Also in front of the oil filler.

2.0 engine codes
 

Is it true that 912e's have no engine codes on the case. I know mine doesn't and I have spoke with others who also advised no engine codes.....

IIRC, they have an engine code on the fan shroud. A GC code as well.

The more important thing is to see if it has 2.0 heads; the Porsche 914 2.0 heads are the only ones with 3 studs to fasten the intake manifolds to the head. If there is a single stud/nut on the flange between the intake tubes, then it has the Porsche heads. Likely the rest of the engine is 2.0 if the heads are.

yes, 3 bolt heads

Alright,..!!! Thanks alot guys ...going to look at 1 this weekend...Frank
