Number ID on 2L pinto motors

[R0BD0G]

ok well from what i could find so far the motors we picked up are all early cortina motors. All engine numbers start with CG and all have the 70HM6015BA mark on the block.

but what i really want to know is what do the T numbers mean. example; we have now a T4.Z block, 2 T5's, 1 T6, 1 T9, 1 T 10 and 2 T11's. but what do they mean. are they revisions or is it something very small and insignificant

also. we have 2 motors with Blue rocker covers and 2 with black rocker covers.

is it the same as the smaller motors with the black being the High Comp. and the blue being the low?

T numbers - no idea.

Black vs Blue Rocker covers - again no idea, but I do know that for Hi Comp engines blocks were black, Lo Comp engines blocks were blue.

do you have enough info yet?

[R0BD0G]

i still would like to know about the T numbers

[jorgan92]

i have two escorts, one that i believed to be converted from auto to manual, they both have black blocks.....

I have two escorts, both Mk2 vans, one has an engine with these numbers- CK50XR89.... and the other CK50XL96... Does the CK indicate that it is a commercial vehicle, and what is the significance of the XR, XL's and 89 versus 96. Also, does anyone have an idea what T16 stands for?

C=UK Build
K=Sydney assembly i think
