1.6 8v, Its got R1 carbs on it, but am unsure the engine number, am think its >93 cause its not in the usual place,

"Where do I find the engine code?
The engine code shall be stamped below the cylinder head (up to 1993), usually on a small flat surface. But after 1993 the location moved to the edge of the cylinder block, transmission side." info from TopBuzz


Is that wheres bin indicated on ma pic?

[General Baxter]

could be a late nova gsi engine, or an astra engine, both the same dont really matter lol

[Stuart]

or its had the block decked so the engine number goes bye bye...

C16SE den, running on R1 carbs. hmm. just for gaskets n that,

[chunky6969]

14nz is my guess

[chimp007_uk]

did you buy that off egay last week?

i looked at my mates mk4 astra and couldn't see the engine number on the block, was on the vin plate though.

[Adam]

See what number is stamped on the head, that will identify the head.
Its stamped by numbers 3/4 exhaust ports iirc.

If its a "16" head, then going by the rocker cover, cam housing and crank sensor bottom pulley it will be a C16SE.

[shamisz]

aye got it from ebay, its not a 14nz cause i've already got that one on ma nova now, still nobody know my engine number???? its got MT stamped on the back of the block

Well its a 16 head, but i was told it was a Nova GSI engine, but couldnt find the engine number.

[Adam]

Its going to be a c16se.

[shamisz]

perfect i'll get the gaskets n am getting the engine bay strengthend will let u know how i get on

[Mike]

yeah early 1.6 GSi engine (diz type) E16SE

[shamisz]

yeah early 1.6 GSi engine (diz type) E16SE

E16SE even through its not got that written anywhere on it

[Stuart]

ill try again, this time can you please try and READ what i say here.....

The block maywell have been "decked" (that means skimmed) to increase the compression ratio/fix a warping. This will result in the engine number that is stamped into the top of the block to be removed due to machining.....

[mikey14sr]

Somewhere on the block there should be a 14 or 16 cast into the side? there is on my 1300 and 1400.

[Adam]

Pretty sure my 1400 block has 14 on the back of it too.

I dont think all of them do tho for some reason.

[KPautomotive]

Its 100% not a C16se as they have a DIS pack not a distributor

I'd say its an E16SE

[Adam]

A dizzy's been fitted so it can run carbs.

It doesn't really matter anyway, c and e16se's share 95% of parts.
