Been researching my engine recently, in order to get the right bits and bobs for the carb. After some forum posts on the EMLRA I’ve managed to get the info I need.

Most of the info was actually on a different forum, but here are some links anyway!

My engine number is 36500493, so it’s a “5 main bearing, Petrol, 8:1, military specification”. Excellent: the more bearings the better!
