Diesel Engine Identification Number

Starkers · Jul 30, 2018

The engine block in my 1967 SIIa/SIII mish-mash is stamped with 99600840C. I've been trying to identify the engine from this number but can't find any reference to something beginning with the 996 prefix. I'd be interested if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks Rob

Shouldnt that be 906.

993 was a high compression for the Belgian army

It’s not a retrofit is it, Perkins or the like.

That would be more than likely.

Get a full pick of the motor up. See if we can identify the blighter.

Looks like the stamper had been out on the pop the night before.

Bobsticle, I think you're right the engine man was well fueled on ale when he stamped this engine. A bit like the previous owner who has attempted several "Stevie Wonder" repair jobs.

Its the sort of job you would give the apprentice. He couldnt screw that up could he.
