ccrinc Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 A '79 Brat would have the EA71 1.8L OHV engine. Emily http://www.ccrengines.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 The engine designation is stamped onto the block near the distributor on the ea71/81. And in the same place on the ea82 but the distributor is on the drivers side head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Emily I am sorry to disagree with you but you say " EA71 1.8L OHV engine" I believe the EA71 is a 1.6L not 1.8 in 1979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlesr1 Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Thanks, even though it just made the task of working on the engine a little more daunting. :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Bratman, I thought what you thought untill I saw this chart. Look at what they call the engine in the Brats on this page. It's wrong for the USDM but... maybe the middle east or or?? Subaru engine application chart I don't know where "RAM Clutches" gets it's info? As I said, maybe it's an overseas varrieant?? Maybe a type-o? Emily knows her stuff, that's why I checked before posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrap487 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 man that seems so wrong for me... maybe thats why whenever i try to get parts for my 86 ea71 hatchback they try to give me ea81 parts 80% of the time; THAT is really frustrating, if not for that I'd be on my way to the beach right now not sitting on the computer at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerFahrer Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hold up, Emily. EA71 1.8L? You sure? Can't be. I've never seen anything about a 1.8L engine in 1979 or before. Your frustration is understood scrap, because the only car in 86 that still used the EA71 was the Standard hatch, when every other GenII car was an EA81.
