H5 engines were VW's first attempt at meeting US-market emissions standards ("M157"). Because they were jetted leaner they tended to run hotter, and it was decided to use a less-dense alloy for the case than had been used in previous engines (such as the "F" 1300 and "H0" 1500) in order to improve heat transfer out of the block. Turned out to be a horrendously bad decision - these "cottage-cheese" cases are infamous for warping, cracking, and pulling headstuds....the only thing they're good for is keeping the rain off of potentially usable internal parts (any time/money spent building an engine based upon an H5 is wasted, it's not a question of whether it will fail - only when).
Need to know what type engine are you asking about, a newer VW? You can call a VW dealership and get an answer.
1970 , 1600cc
Should be a 1971 Type 3
Late 1966 to early 1967 1500 cc engine.
a CB engine is from a 72-73 VW Bus.
There will be a two letter designation in front of those numbers that will pinpoint the engine.
on a type I vw beetle it is below generator pedastel
that means it is (or was originally!) a 1200cc engine produced from august 1965. the D denotes that, the rest of the number is your serial number.
It is a 1600 cc from a 1970 through 1972 Type 1 Beetle.
The numbers vary from one engine to the next. Varies with model year and displacement and European or US.
Vw golf gti ...1986 1.8 engine, k-jet not digifant. Also its the hydro lifter not solid :)
The engine serial number is located on the case under the oil filler neck. The engine number is located on the side of the sump. You may need to clean the area to read the number.
