rigez Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi Everyone. First post on this forum and jumping into the RB world. Like title says need help in verifying if this is a Series 1 or Series 2 block. Any and all comments welcome. I'm buying and want to start the planning for my engine build. http://www.flickr.com/photos/7136506@N02/11814557233/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/7136506@N02/11814299025/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/7136506@N02/11814707144/in/photostream/ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/437278-is-this-a-series-1-or-series-2-rb30-block/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C34 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 It sucks to view those photos on phone, but looks like you have the important part, the flat and tapped hole for the idler on the exhaust side. cant see if the drain and oil feed is there but they are easy to add. also looks like you have already ground the clearance for the exhaust manifold, plugged an oil feed to head and tapped the hole for the new tensioner. what are you worried about?

nicksamaniac Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I have a block you can have, it has oil feed/drain and hole tapped for idler bearing. Needs a rebuild as no 4# is scored, will cleanup though. It's in Muswellbrook NSW 2333, if your interested.
