Hi All

Have seen this on an unrestored car…does anybody have anymore details…? I assume the 022 refers to the 1.7L but what about the other number?

Any insight would be appreciated…thanks

i've seen a snatch of footage where you can see a 2.0 L 4 being assembled by one of the engine builders at the porsche factory in stuttgart. but that likely was an early proto engine when porsche were working on the design of the 2.0?

i can't see that bit of tin on my 1.8 without a mirror.
but i think my 1.8 only has the one marking on the LHS side near the alternator port.
there might have been a stamp on the rhs but its not visible anymore if it was.

its interesting that the whole package is there, exhaust system and all.
they would not have been able to do that with the 914 engines due to the exhaust system. probably didn't put that on until it got to karmann and was mated with the gearbox.
