mrspeedyt Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 My '23 has a fully enclosed valve cover held in place with 2 wingnuts and 2 covered oil holes and the pushrods are covered with a metal cover too... I don't remember when buick covered things up. The engine number is about right for a '23, I think. Right now i'm 400 miles from the car and my information.

Leif Holmberg Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 It seems to be 1923. Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 The early engines, (pre 16) had jugs that were cast in pairs, and were of the headless style. The later engines, the block was cast as one, and the head was removable. I agree, from the number it seems to be the later 4 cylinder. Dandy Dave!

unimogjohn Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) It would help a bit if you could/would post pictures. But with that said, here is a 1922 4 cyl motor, so you can compare with what you have. I have pics of the other side and will send them to you if you send me your email, for some reason, they kept failing to load.

tblack Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 JohnThat looks like an engine I have in my garage.Given the engine number is just over 1,000,000 and engine and car numbers were close I'd say a 1923. The last year for the 4 cylinder engine was 1924.If the transmission is attached the 1923 went to a speedo drive from the trans while the 22 still ran off a gear on the passenger side front wheel.
