Default Engine ID

Post or PM me the casting number and the date code please. Are you sure that that's a 'Y'? Could it be a 'T'? That would make it a 1-ton and above Truck 216.

Default Engine ID...... puzzled !!!

Hi Bob

When you take the side cover off look for a serial number under where the gasket goes, see if it matches the number you see on the distributor boss.

Remember I've come across two engines that did not have serial numbers stamped on the normal location at all.

Cheers Phil

Default Thanks guys.....

David....pretty sure it was a clearly stamped Y but will check agin this weekend....... along with the casting numbers......

Phil ....thanks for the tip......

The engine is exceptionally complete ..... will be adding lube to the cylinders maybe even drop the old engine oil and replace with some cheap 10W30 for now....... it certainly has potential.....and it would be nice to just to start it....nice cold wet weather project.

Bob

Default Casting nos

Since I am at the barn, I looked at the engine being discussed. Bob is correct about the stamped serial no. It starts with a very clearly stamped "Y".

The casting no is 3692713 with the no 1 below the 7 in the casting no. Above the numbers are the letters GM followed by a circle with a square inside of it.

Default Casting number

Yes, it's a 1950-52 Jobmaster Six 235 Truck engine. Have you got the casting date code please? We can then identify which year it is. I can then add a new prefix to my database collection!

Default Now refresh my memory, when did they stop the dippers

Hi All

I need my memory updated, was 1950-52 Jobmaster Six 235 Truck engine a dipper or a pressure lube crank? Next question did they make the change from dipper to pressure crank at the same time in US and Canada?

Pretty sure that it is a bypass filter system but is it like the later 235s that can be converted to full flow filter system.

Cheers Phil
