Re: Engine id. Something special? Ami-6 or more likely Ami-8.

Re: Engine id. Something special? Ami 8 from my limited experience, I've got an engine which I've stripped, it has AM2 written on it and I was told its from an ami when I grabbed it as a spare for my old van. My other spare has a red tag but I can't remember numbers..

Re: Engine id. Something special? '048' = Dyane or Ami 602cc with 9.0:1 pistons, blown induction, etc. Next digit is '2' and since it's a 'black label' engine, that pins it down to 1972. Next?  ken

Re: Engine id. Something special? Without wishing to hi-jack this thread, I have an AM2/048 2... labelled engine, but it is red, not black
What's the difference here?

Re: Engine id. Something special? Mark, the 4th digit of the engine number matches the 4th digit of the 'year of manufacture', so other information ( such as the colour of the plate and whether the small frame has AM2, AO6/635 or something else stamped into it ) also needs to be considered... http://www.cats-citroen.net/citroen_aty ... arbox.htmlken Mark350 wrote: Without wishing to hi-jack this thread, I have an AM2/048 2... labelled engine, but it is red, not black

Re: Engine id. Something special? Thank You Ken So the AM2 / 048 2 010 921 gives me an M28 from a Dyane6 or an Ami8, with 9.0:1 pistons and 35hp  What might the year be: 1972 or '82? I do also have a pair of red labelled engines: A 06 / 635 with 090 3 054 288 A 06 / 635 with 090 7 015 496 Are these 1983 and '87 respectively, and both M28/1 (2CV6/Mehari) 8.5:1 compression and 29hp The AM label is properly stamped throughout, like the black one above, whereas the A 06 labels are semi-printed
