How can I tell who makes the alum block in my beetle? Any tips on identifying displacement or manufacturer. It has a stamped 7 on the split in the case.?. Please help. Jay |

Welcome, what's cast or stamped into the sides of the sump each side? How about at the base of the generator/alternator stand?
Nothing will tell you displacement, dismantling and measuring is the only sure answer to that question. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here

There are no markings below generator stand like ae or ak it is blank. There was a glued on metal stamp the size of a nickel that said void if removed. Any ideas? Jay |

None of the aftermarket aluminum cases will have a number stamped below the gen stand. What is stamped on the side of the case below the push rod tubes. _________________ 2017 Street Comp Champion - Thunder Valley Raceway Park - Noble, OK
