Thanks for that Do you think it's original to the block? The head takes the slimmer glow sticks

Hi all, I need help with I D ing my 2 1/4 diesel cylinder head. The casting number is HRC1353 and a stamp on the rocker cover mating surface ETC4302. I think it is a metric late series 3 or a 2.5 any ideas please, as new rockers are needed. The engine has engine number 36902300C it also has no...

Found out that the 369 number is from 82-85 FX4R London taxi which is the same as a 366 engine fitted to the late series 3

Good evening to all, I have that often asked question. What engine is best to replace my ever dying 2 1/4 diesel in my series 3. Tdi 2.5 na ? I only use it for off roading and the snow. Thanks in advance

hi no does not have butterfly, played about with timing again and i reckon its doing bout 60 flat out now and i dont think its gonna do more than that + i dont think i want to do more than that. my bro has a serieis 2 a diesel and it keeps up with his, so Job done me thinks. will still...

no definitely engine prob

yeh retarded it when i lined up timing marks which made it worse, advanced to max on slots and have more power but still holding back. i'll have another play with it at the weekend. thanks all

No i bought in summer, Welded up chassis changed a diff new shoes for hand brake oil seals for drive shaft etc etc MOT'd on road, doh! forgot engine. Thinking about it now sitting here I think it has the wrong pump, the external pointer is on the block but it has the old style pump with no...

Thanks G-Man will check chain tension.

Ah no when i say slow i mean holding back can hardly get in forth, and yes have primed fuel checked filter all obvious stuff even checked tappets. yes it does smoke a bit, Blue, so advanced timing a bit today and now its kicking out a bit of black but not holding back so much. I can't advance...
