Here goes- in order of numbers- 7:Series 71 V engine, 08: number of cylinders, 7: application designation- vehicle FF, 7 Basic engine arrangement and driveshaft rotation ( looking at flywheel end of engine )= flywheel counter clockwise, starter on left, oil cooler on right., 5: design variation- customer spec engine, 17: specific model number. This should be a right hand engine. |
