Can any one help me identify this engine number

[ben_minor_63]

Just preparing my engine for a steam clean and we thought it didn't look right, it was blue and had not got a norris mnor enigne number, the enigne number on it is RKM 1121 E 618 can any one help me to identify it

[bmcecosse]

It's one of the very rare blue seal engines........

[ben_minor_63]

What does that mean because we need to know what we need to buy for it

[bmcecosse]

It's a recon engine - so we need some other clues or pictures to guide us. Does it for example have '950' cast in the side of the block near the exhaust manifold? Or does it have a little plate down there with '1100' stamped on it? But what exactly do you need to 'buy' for it ? General running spares for Ignition etc will fit both 948 and 1098 engines........ and gasket sets are common - except perhaps for the tappet chest covers.

i will post p[ictures, the engine has had all the unleaded convrsion and a lot of work done on it so we need to no wt to but for it

1098 with spin on oil filter conversion.

[ben_minor_63]

Thanks pal, and what a spin on oil conversion sorry to ask what does that mean?

[bmcecosse]

It' a 1098 head - and a 1098 backplate but we would need to see the other side of the block to be SURE of it being a 1098 engine. 'Unleaded' is nothing to get excited about......... and as pointed out above it has a Mini style oil filter - you screw on/off the filter cartridge. As others have now also asked - what do you want to 'but'(sic) for it ??

[ben_minor_63]

but(sic)?

[phurn]

Maybe 5th time is the charm...... what do you want to buy for it!!!!!

[ben_minor_63]

well now we no its a 1098 we have most parts for it

[bmcecosse]

You don't know for sure...... show us a pic of the other side of the block...........

[mike.perry]

So far I can spot the following parts missing, thermostat blanking plug or sensor, dynamo mounting bracket, water pump, heater tap, copper pipe and hoses
What is the small hole in the top of the rocker box?

[PSL184]

It' a 1098 head - and a 1098 backplate.......

and a 1098 dipstick

[bmcecosse]

Dunno about the small hole in the rocker cover - but it's missing the v essential breather pipe connection......

Hi my morris has the same identification on i found this on a website;
All engines pre-fixed with 'GSE' or 'RKM' were of UNIPART origin when BL split its parts organisation.

'E' at the end of a part number denotes it is a reconditioned, service unit only (basic engine assembly with no ancillaries).

[bmcecosse]

He's already been told it's a Blue seal recon engine..........
