Engine number not in your list
Hi,
this is my first post here.
I bought a Westfield Seight with a 3,9 ltr engine but I cannot find the engine number in any list.
Stamped in is the following number:
CR8 13.1
28G00095A
The upper line is clearly the compression rate ( 8.13 : 1 ) but what means
28G..... ?
Any info welcome,
Mathias,
Austria

going by the number ranges I would think its a Landrover or Discovery engine and as you say a low compression one. I would give it a measure up if you can because I would say it could easy actually be a 3.5 and not a 3.9 like you have been told. I could be wrong on this but all the 28's seem to be 3.5.

XM46D prefix
My engine which I bought from RPI is prefixed XM46D. Its year of manufacture is 2004 and I believe it was intended install was in a Morgan but then I think Morgan started to use BMW power plants and thus surplus of Rover these engines was created.
I wonder if XM stands for Ex-Morgan!

Adam,
The "XM " denotes a MCT ( mitchell Cotts ) engine built under licence for Land Rover. They build a 46D2 , 46D3 46D5, 46D7 ALL 4.6HC short motors and a 46D1 AND 46D4 stripped engine. It is probably built from mainly OE parts left over from the end of production at Solihull and would be one of the first batch they built.

Mines the 46D3. Thanks for the information, good to know where it came from.
Do you know if they did anything special with balancing internal components?

Not a lot of info is avaliable on non UK engines am afraid If you find any let me know.
As for balancing, I don't know for sure but all the 4.0-4.6 engines were fully internally balanced to 1 gram in the factory. I cant see MCT changing that as its still a production engine so no need to make it better balanced. It was only the 3.9 that was partly externally balanced.

Good enough for 6,500rpms then!
Interesting MCT producing engines though, I thought they only did transmissions.

I have an engine, that I was told is a SD1, but looking at your list, it looks more like a P6 (whats the diff?)
The engine number is: 451XXXX7D (D=???)
and there is also stamped: 9.25:1 CR (note: NOT 9.35:1 CR)
It came with an automatic transmission.
Any Ideas what engine this is?..
Thanks in advance...
