JUST BOUGHT A RUNNING V6...SERIAL NO. J0584588..,,,, model E23 -----00R ..SOME WORN OFF.COULD SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO TELL WHAT YEAR AND HP IT IS SO I CAN DO SOME REPAIRS...
Robbie.... The beginning of that model number would indicate that your V/6 engine is a 235hp model. However, we need the rest of that model number to reveal the year. Look on the block for a small quarter sized core plug (looks like a small freeze out plug) which would also have the model number on it (hopefully).<br /><br />It would most likely be located on top of the block near the port (left) cylinder head gasket area.
HEY JOE...<br /><br />I GOT THE NUMBER OFF BOTH SIDES....BUT I THINK IT'S A NEW POWER HEAD.....<br /><br />PORT FREEZE PLUG READS; RPH 0432160 ...<br /><br />STBD PLUG READS; 397080<br /><br />TOOK ANOTHER LOOK AT THE WORN PLATE... I THINK THE LAST THREE DIGITS ARE COR.....OR 60R ...ANY HELP THERE...?<br /><br />IF YOU PREFER YOU MAY USE MY EAMAIL <br />robonbeach@hotmail.com<br /><br />THANKS ..... ROBBIE.<br /><br />PS I LIVE NOT TOO FAR FROM THE OMC TEST CENTER HERE IN STUART....
Robbie.... The "CO" within the model number would indicate that the engine is a 1985, sooooooo I would assume that you have a 1985 235hp Johnson engine.
