Engine iden

Does any one know any other way to tell the difference between 1275 & 998 other than engine number and push rod breathers without internal inspection:eek: I seem to think there is somthing else but cant remember

Check if it says 1.3 on the back:D lol

If the head is fitted Dean you should be able to identify by gap between thermostat housing and rocker cover. 998 has next to no gap & 1275 you can get even my fat finger between the two.:)

me thinks you are right will scurry to the garage and have a look in a min:) clever general

998s have a bypass hose between the head and the water pump and typically 1.3s are red?!!

[Deano]

I have an early 1380 in the garage with a bypass hose but not seen many others
The crank pulleys are different on the 1275 they have a much bigger balancing pulley:)
