assuming you mean with the engine intact-
code on side of block, code inside glovebox of original vehicle the engine came from.
original crank pully will have a marking on it meaning 4 bolt main. not sure what the marking is but its different between 2 and 4 bolt mains.
if you mean looking at the block with the heads off the caps holding down the crank have 4 bolts to hold each cap, a 2 bolt main has well...2.
Unfortunately, there is no way to tell without removing the oil pan.
The difference between a 2 bolt main and 4 bolt main is how many bolts hold the caps that hold on the crankshaft. (A 2 bolt main has 2 bolts to every cap and the 4 bolt main has 4 bolts to every cap) A 2 bolt main should be able to handle 500hp as long as you don't push it above 5500RPMs.
None. The four bolt main block is thought to be more rigid at higher loads.
On a 4 bolt block, the three center main caps are held on by 4 bolts instead of 2.
nope
That will depend on what are you comparing it to.
There are a lot of differences between the 2 markers. The ASAs are different, barrels, bodies, and feednecks. The main difference is the bolt systems. Planet Eclipse uses an open bolt system while Dye uses a spool valve.
Super visor here. Tell me what you are talking about.
Primarily in the magazines; Mark II has a bolt hol open also
bolt tightening sequence on what part?
To tell if your engine is a 2 bolt main or a 4 bolt main. Turn the engine upside down on an engine stand. Next, count the number of bolts on each main bearing cap. if there are two, then its a 2 bolt main. And if there are4, then its a 4 bolt main. This applies to the three center caps. The front and rear are always 2 bolt.
The difference between the two seismograph readings could tell you where the epicenter is located.
