Identify engine

Post by normaneldon »

I've got an A series engine and I'm not sure what it's from .
Hopefully someone will be able to help me identify it .
The plate riveted to it says 8G126W2210 .
Thanks

Whilst the engine number given identifies it as a factory reconditioned engine photos of the actual engine especially around the oil filter area would be beneficial in correctly identifying it.

8G is simply a BMC reconditioned A series engine, so it could be 803, 948, etc, etc
As Phil says, 'a photo speaks a 1,000 words, (so long as it's the right photo :wink: )'....
Meanwhile, there's been a few posts about engine ID in recent years, this one for example:
