montermahan Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I have an EA82 engine on a trike I built adapted to a VW auto transaxle and it is working great. I purchased the engine from a person who got a bunch of them that were removed from cars in Japan and All I have is the serial # on the engine, It is 094690. Is there a way to identify what it is out of from this. Last year I replaced the oil pump seals and the TOD was gone for about 10,000 miles, now it is back sometimes, not continuously, I got a new seal kit for it and it come with a lip seal for the shaft, I thought I remembered it had an O-Ring shaft seal. Did some of them have an O-ring or my memory is weaker than this motors lifter system. I don't want to take the pump apart till I'm sure I have the right part's to put it back together. Thank's for any feedback. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 All of the ea82 engines I've sent have a regular lip shaft seal for the oil pump shaft. There is a big o ring around the body of it that goes into the block. Also the mickey mouse o ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) where's Tweety ? If birds had enough saliva to begin with he'd be salivating at the idea of another member in here with a trike and EA82 ! not sure original Tweety birds gender, and if the trike is regarded as same ??? To better identify the EA82, start with if it is carb or efi. Efi could be single point or multi point(twin port heads) and still flapper mass air flow or hot wire ... casting marks on heads can be EA82 plain, or EA82 with an underline or [EA82] in a box casting marks in the block side ? can indicate a month and year cast , from memory oh , yeah - PHOTOS please Edited July 25, 2015 by jono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montermahan Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Picture from the front. 2 GoldWing radiator's in front of rear fenders for cooling. Runs around 176 Deg. Adapted to a VW full auto trans. Kennedy adapter. 10 gal fuel. 32 MPG. Have 20,000 trouble free miles (ceptin sometimes a lifter tick). I have built around 10 trikes, VW's, Corvair's, 215 Buick, 151 Iron Duke motors, this by far is my favorite. Don't need no stinken paint, rust is like teflon--nothing sticks to it.

TomRhere Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Nice trike! Really liking the air filter can, um,,, pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montermahan Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 It is carburated, and the teflon coating on air filter cover has upped my gas mileage also. I streched relief spring in banjo fitting around 1/4" (don't talk metric), drove it 5 miles and no tick. time will tell. MM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
