Hi guys Are there any external differences between the six cylinder engines that would allow you to identify one as being either an IC (100-Six, Integral head) or 26 D (100-Six, six port inlet) or 29
The cylinder heads are the giveaway. ;-) The log head is the early 100/6 The pre BJ8 12 port head is different to the BJ8 12 port head casting - different casting number, and a distinct difference ar
Thanks for the comments everyone. I probably should have been more specific. Im looking at a very early Longbridge 100-Six which would have had an IC engine and the integral manifold. As is common, t
I need to correct you. There are 3 different 12 port head castings. 1 The early one without the "nose" for the late 100/6s 2 The one for the Thermo-Choke on early 3000s 3 The "nose" one following th
As far as can tell, the 26D blocks are all the same. The 29D block is different in the casting (more strengthening) and the engine number is as far as I recollect higher and more to the front on the
When you say 'the 26D blocks are all the same, do you mean the IC block is the same as the 26D block? thanks Derek 26D block _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.net Do
Hi Josef, Happy to be corrected, but I'm not understanding the differences you cite. I've seen 2 different 12port head castings - as i said, the area around the thermostat/ temp sensor. The BJ8 head
Hi Chris, here I am not with you. All 3000 heads are the same casting, casting number AEC 960, except the early ones with the opening for the thermo choke sensor. Josef Eckert --Urspr|ngliche Nachric
Sorry Chris. I just checked the number on my BJ8 cylinder head. It is AEC 960. If it were different than earlier 3000 heads, it would have a different part number. It is the same as earlier heads. Th
Number on the IC block is AEC 335 cast predominately into the left side of the block 6 inches back and three inches higher than the location of the aluminum engine number tag. Aloha Perry Hi guys Ar
Hi Richard & Josef, Ok. My Bj8 head is also AEC 960. I thought (obviously incorrectly) that the AEC 960 was specific to the BJ8 My comment about the ignition timing on a BJ8 was the reason I thought
As far as external differences, how about the location of the dip stick. Bill BJ7 _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Sugges
