Willys and 16v engines

[major b]

How do you tell one from another by looks?

 

[Roamer]

you dont, only by the code on the front of the block...

Oh and the colour on the top of the dipstick is different, but I cant remember which colours are 1.8 and which are 2.0

 

[White16valver]

My 1.8 is yellow I believe, though it may well have been replaced!

 

[Roamer]

I meant the colour dot of paint on the top of the yellow dipstick handle.... sorry ;-)

 

[Summeh]

mines yellow (willy), i think, cant be arsed to go and check now...

 

[Summeh]

haha wow quick replies didnt read those... mines a RED dot iirc.

A genuine Williams F7R (as opposed to one fitted to a Megane/Spider/retro-fitted to a Valver) will have a tubular steel manifold, which appears thinner than the Valvers cast alloy one.

Other than that, theres pretty much no way to tell by looking.

[Roamer]

Nice one daz, yup, white..... on the valvers Ive seen a black dot and a blue dot I think...... cant recollect any other colours.

 

[major b]
