Can anyone help me with where to find the engine number on my 1986 Land Rover 90 2.5L petrol? I found a few numbers, just not sure which one is the actual engine number. Any help is much appreciated!
All Land Rover engine numbers are stamped in, the raised numbers are casting numbers, usually part numbers.
The attached image is a 2.5 N/A diesel, but the number should be in the same place, towards the rear of the engine on a flat area.
Yours should start 17H or similar then five numbers and ending with a letter.
It is where the arrow is, to the rear of the distributor, ignore the plate that is circled.
Found it!! Thank you both so very much. The engine number was hidden under a few layers of grime and I began to think it just wasn't there. Thanks for getting help and guidance; may never have found that sucker otherwise.
