Subject: Answer 78 MGB engine size and number
Thanks all. Except for a few harsh attitudes out there I'm on the right
track now. Some of us don't know it all.
I got a look at the engine. It does in fact say 1800. I was told by a
friend he thought it was a 1.1 with the cylinder ratio readings we were
getting when doing some compression tests. Neither of us was sure what we
were doing any way. I guess I am in for a lot of learning. Its kind of
fun to learn more about these cars. Any way I have the number off the
block and I see from past posts that there is a way to tell if it is
original or not. What do I need to find this out? I got the number off
the passenger side of the engine block. It is 18V883AELG25853 it looks
like. Can some one guide me some more thanks.
