 |
|
Does anyone know what the main differences are between the series I and the series II M14P engine ? I know that the latter came out in the early eighties, and that there were quite some improvements, but what exactly? Are there any specific items that allow to make an easy distinction visually (apart from the year it is built ?).

FWIW - the following quote is from Jill Gernetzke's web FAQ list I'd copied some years back on engine numbering, have lost the URL so don't know if this web page still exists;
QUOTE
Here's how to tell if you have a Russian, Romanian or helicopter engine:
K(YA): Russian (YA is actually a backwards "R")
RA: Romanian
KE: Helicopter
Serial Number meaning for the Russian engine, example KYA132026:
1st digit: Year example: 2001, 1991, 1981
2nd digit: Quarter of the year
3rd digit: Series of the engine
Last 3 digits: Ordinal, number off the production line
The numbering system is different for a Romanian engine. I will post it when I have the information. Also, the original engine
Logbook, Section 2.3 will list the individual features of the engine. Special time parameters may be listed here. I have warned
some engine shoppers to pay close attention to the data plate on the engine. There are less than scrupulous sellers who may
try to pass off the engine as "new". Your first clue is a "missing" logbook. Your second clue is the serial number is not only on
the data plate; it is also stamped onto a section of the rear case. They should match.

Jan,
Externally, the cylinder cooling fin castings are different. The Series I engine cylinder fins left and right of the spark plug are basically all the same height. On the Series II engine cylinders, the fins are different heights. The attached photo P413001.JPG is a Series II cylinder. In the second photo, look closely at the cylinders. You can see the fins are the same height. This is a Series I engine.
