Man thats bad news - i think if you wash it it might look a bit better - keep smiling:D

I have seen several over here in OZ - have a great day

The engine looks the same as my other ea81, but i'll post some piccies anyway. It's a bit funny that they chose "ohc" as a casting code, don't you think? Is it possible to put ohv heads on an ohc block? I've had the engine running, it sounds fine. Also, my other ea81 doesn't have any letters on it, just numbers. Does the ea82 have ohc stamped there?

I'll post one tonight for you corky. (Oz time)

Hello from OZ! I bought an EA81 engine from a parts yard the other day, and while I was cleaning it down I noticed it had "OHC" stamped on the head just under the EA81 stamp. It's definitely an Ea81 OHV engine. Has anyone ever seen this? What's the deal?

I've had this problem on my EA81 wagon. Turned out to be the soft rubber dampeners were old and hard, so were transmitting noise through the floor pan. Replaced them and no more noise!!!
