    Spread bore or Siamese

    My engine number is 11700022 going by the manual it was the 22 nd RHD engine built in 1957 and should have been in a 88 petrol not a 109. Is this a spread bore or a Siamese bore? My gearbox number is 170616442 and was built in 1956 and is the correct for a 109 that year. My chassis number is 123800791 and is a 1958 109 . It was sold by Annand & Thompson in Brisbane . Are there any records from there still available.

    If it was made in 57 it will be a spreadbore.

    All records from Annand & Thompson were lost in the Brisbane floods of 1974 So the only thing you can go by is the plate on the radiator support panel, if you have a plate, not a lot of those there either

    According to my L/R workshop manual No.4291 1957 88" 109" and station wagons didn't have separate engine numbers.Why do you think yours should be in an 88"? .W.

    Because my workshop manual says so

    My original workshop manual printed March 1960 says so 1957 RHD engine numbers start at 1170001 ( ) 88 inch petrol.LHD models started with 114700001. Miune was the 22 nd engine built.

    Side

    I might be a bit different in the way I look at things, But I truly believe that a car only has one right side regardless of which way it is traveling.
    Plus on most siamese engines there will be no oil filter at all, having been long removed.
