Anyone tell me how to identify a 3brg and a 5brg 2.25 petrol lump? Is
there a way to tell from the outside, or do I have to check the engine
number and look it up somewhere?

TIA

Have a google thru this newsgroup's past postings - this subject has
been covered ad nauseum.

Five bearing has prominent reinforcing ribs on the outside of the crankcase,
absent on the three bearing.

You just said that!


it's not always easy to find the answers in a google groups search, to be
fair, even if you know what to search for.

As far as I know the 5 bearing is painted red and the 3 bearing is blue.
