is there a way to identify wether the block is a 205 or 200?
i know theres lots of numbers on the side so im assuming one will tell me?

Its pretty obvious when you know where to look. It is cast into upper part of the block near the top of #2 cylinder (205 block)

Its in a similar position on the normal 2L block (can't remember exactly where and I'm too lazy to go out an check my own engine at the moment) but just the number 20 instead.

cheers for that shall look tomorow
