Yo, picking up an engine this afternoon. It's said to be a 2004 1.8 bp. Which is the s-vt or vvt block.

Is there any way to recognize it besides from the head?

Thnx. Never worked on an nb

 

Bump. Help

 

NB blocks are the same. Head is different on 01-05.

 

If you're looking at a bare block the thrust bearing surface will be larger on an NB2 block.

 

Ty guys, just picked it up. The guy was super nice. Jeez he knew a lot about mx5's.

Got the engine and wiring harness for € 450,-
Does not include flywheel, clutch, coils, alternator and stuff but we don't need those right!

 

You didn't get a block, you got a whole engine.

 

A whole engine that is very obviously a VVT engine.

What was the question, again?
