2.0 Block

 

Meh. I had it backwards. Ho well you live you learn. The displacement on the Beta I is still a pretty easy thing to discern I guess, if you can see the side of the block. Thanks Mauricio.

 

i thought the 1.8l spark plug cover is all black with black writing.. while the 2.0l is blac with silver writing thats how i distinguished my elantra and tiburon besides looking under the hood or driving the two lol

 

BTW, if someone want to identify the Beta 1 blocks that had the 35mm crank (for the flywheel) it's easy, check the crankshaft sensor, on the 41mm the CPS "form" is horizontal, the 35mm one have it vertical.

Exemple :

This one (my spare engine) has a 41mm crank size :

 

. . . looks the same to me ( ? )

 

what he says is that the crank sensor mounting hole is in the 3 o clock position for the 41mm crank and is in the 12 o clock position for the 35mm

might be a good catch Chris...
never actually catched that one ;-)

 

^ exactly what I was trying to say! Sorry if it wasn't clear!

I catched that when I opened that engine, since I replaced the cranksensor twice on my Elantra (one fried and the other was bad from the start) I knew the sensor position on that engine was not the same. So I checked and saw that the 41mm crank engines had it position differently ... so it helped identifying engines in the junkyard when I went afterwards!

Of course it only helps for Beta1 2.0l engines but it's still a good way to see which is which without trying to figure out the 1999 production month! smile.gif

 

ooooooh. Good point, especially for transmission swap donor car searches.

 

My 01 2.0 has the CPS vertical at 12 o clock. .....

 

here's one for you,sensor at 6 o'clock position
