Here you go everyone: The engine should be stamped on all the rotor housings and sideplates. Look on the top of the rotor housings where is says "Mazda 20B"


Pre A code: 3 digit  numbers only, no letter
A code : Letter A and 3 digit #
B code : Letter B and 3 digit #
All of the above are small dowel pin land motors

C code: letter C and 3 digit #
D code : letter D and 3 digit #

The C and D code have the upgraded sideplates, thicker dowel pin lands. Approx: 4mm thicker

Thomas,

     Try Brian Galloway in Calif.........He deals in Mazda parts and is very knowledgeable in

the 20B models and the differences between them.........Improvements were made in the

year models............For our use in aircraft the upgrades probably are not as important as

we are not severely stressing our engines like the racers (Auto) do.........I do know that the

later model 20B's sell at a premium...........The last time I corresponded with him he had

both early and late 20B's for sale............I bought a 20B auto trans bell housing from him

(My 13B "Cosmo" uses it between Tracy's RD1C and engine like "Bulent" of this group

.....See photo) attached)..........FWIW

Pat,

     If your core engine still has the waterpump on it count the number of bolts

on the pump........86-88 13B has 7 WP bolts...........89-91 has 8 WP bolts.....

 

    93-95 13B has an all aluminum WP.......This is quick and dirty but there are

other ways if WP is missing...........The 86-91 WP is cast iron bolted to alum

housing.........

Hey gang,

I have a core engine I need to identify.
Are there any numbers on the web I can look up?

Thanks!

Pat
