Sheepy Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 My friend has a mk1 gt6 that he is preparing to sell and wants to give it a full service first.He asked me what parts to order so I had a look and there are two types of service kits available. One kit Up to engine number KC7905The other From engine number KC7906I said he needs to let me know what his engine number is, he can not find it (either he is not looking well enough or it is missing? I don't have the time for a while to go over and have a look myselfSo how else can you identify what service kit to buy?Thanks in advanceRegardsShaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 He's been looking at this page: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID012003Why does he think that replacing the air filters, spark plugs and fan belt will help him sell the car? Unless it doesn't have any.He'd do better to spend his money on a full valet, and one of these: http://www.yankeecandle.co.uk/.....y3A1TwAfUaAkjv8P8HAQYou know where the engine number is stamped, sheepy. Can he not follow directions?John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Ha ha that's great John, I will send him that link so he can get a jar.Yes that was the kits he was looking at, and also on James paddocks site. He wants to service it fully so that it's correct when he sells it, (quite decent attitude) I told him where to look but he swears he can see nothing, (he is not a mechanic, but then he is also not completely stupid) perhaps I should get him to do it via video chat so I can see!

marktheherald Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Could the block have been skimmed and the number lost in the process ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Who knows Mark, anything is possible by the previous owner.Especially as it is a rally car! I will have to get him to look some more or plan a trip over to see himCheersShaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltddirk Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Shaun,If the block is skimmed the numbers are gone,on your spitfire it is the same, no number, or a very vague one IIRC, or was that on mine.... I know there is a table somewhere with the comm numbers and GB/ engine numbers in relation to that, he might find his series going that route, unless of course the block has been changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Think it must have been yours matey, just popped out to garage to look and mine is crystal clear stamped number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltddirk Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 yup, probably bought it from an Albanese dealer who tried to improve performance by filing off all the numbers, saving weight you know..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
