Land Rover, Range Rover engine numbers - by Glencoyne Engineering Land Rover engine numbers Most older Land Rovers have had at least one engine change in the past. Did not change often, but there are a couple of key changes which may not be immediately obvious just looking at an engine, and for which the serial number can be very invaluable. The most obvious ones are: - Major redesign of the 2286cc petrol engine in 1961, when the Series IIA replaced the Series II - Diesel engine redesigned and increased from 2052cc to 2286cc at the same time - Change from 3 bearing to 5 bearing crank on 4 cylinder engines around 1980 - 2286cc petrol replaced by 2495cc in 1985 - the new engine has hardened valve seats and will run on unleaded A couple of other points worth knowing in relation to engine numbers. Firstly, the 2286cc petrol and diesel engines had interchangeable cylinder blocks. It is not uncommon for engine reconditioners to mix and match components, so you may find a diesel engine with a petrol serial number or vice versa. This should not be a problem on 5 bearing engines as the petrol and diesel used the same crankshaft, but on the earlier 3 bearing engine, petrol crankshafts were cast, and much weaker than the forged items used in diesel engines.
