EA81 engine year?


Recommended Posts

3. Very, very ealy EA81's (1980 - *maybe* 81) had no (or at least very, very rare) options for AC, or power steering. So the crank pulley only has a single groove for the alternator belt. All later engines were equipped with the three groove pully for optional AC and power steering.

my '84 Brumby has a single groove pulley on the crank, a/c wasn't an option in New Zealand back then. ( or for another five or more years.)

GD: Wouldn't you need two lists for the EA81 for solid lifter and hydraulic lifter? I would think they'd start counting from 000001 again when the hydraulic engines came out.

I agree because my original engine from my 1983 Brat GL with automatic transmission had engine number 191484.  It had hydraulic lifters. The replacement engine from a 1981 Brat with manual transmission is 578058 and has solid lifters.

They must have started number sequence over with new model engine, although both are EA81 engines.
