What I5 Block Do I Have?

[SA BOY]

A question for you in the know. I have a 5 cyl petrol block which looks identical to the 7a minus the sensor mounts. But it is roughly 2mm taller? Any info would be great. Thanks.

You are absolutely right as I have 3 of these engines from the South African made VW T25 Caravelle / Microbus. But this block is different, measures 222mm instead of 220mm and has the 95.5mm crank and not the rarer 92.8mm crank?

[caterpillar]

do you have the cranc too?? meshure the stroke.... the org are 86,4... but 92,8 are in some rare t3 wv and toy DO HAVE the 2,5l petrol in t4 eurovan ( 110hp) with 95,5 stroke, but they does have 81,00 bore, and are the tall deck engine ( 236mm)... ( may be rebored 2,4 diesel, 79,5)

[caterpillar]

may the piston are flat top or does have the deap disch in.....???

[caterpillar]

are the rod length 144 or 150mm?? and the x pin 20mm or 24??

Another pic to show its a petrol block and not a diesel one although it has the 95.5mm crank making it a 2.6 but has the 2.5 engine code.
