Nissan crankcase numbers
 

OK Chaps, get your thinking caps on!
i need pics of ET, DE and DET blocks, exhaust side and inlet side showing the whole block side. the reason being i need to know if all ETs carry the same block design (mk1 and Mk2 etc), any differing casting holes for engine mounts, extra block ribs etc etc and the same with casting numbers. this also applies to the DE and DET too, but to a lesser extent.
any of you got spare blocks you can email me pics of? or pics of your motor during rebuoild etc?

some pics below of what i need

anyone know how i cabn find what the Nissan numbers cast into the crank cases refer to? on Fords its family of engines, batch code, casting tool number etc etc, any idea with Nissans?

cheers
Craig

The mk1 ET has the turbo oil feed on the inlet side while the mk2 has the oil feed on the exhaust side

I'll take some pics of the DET blocks at the WE

thanks Danny
aprreciate it if you could Northener.

anyone know if the FWD blocks were different? i know the 8v Bluebird heads had the distrib on the end of the head, but not sure about the blocks

First two photos are of a UK spec four port DE head on the inlet side and the second two are of a eight port Jap spec head inlet side again.
Sorry about the quality.

I'm trying to get away with doing a Re-ring on a Det block atm but there are still some marks left in the bores after a Hone
