"I have seen a few threads started asking what that persons particular model number means. I dug through some service manuals at work and found model number break-downs for 53, in-line 71, V-92, and 149 Series engines. This break down is for the V-92 Series engine only.

All rotations are found with you standing in front of the engine, looking at the crank pulley. If the pulley rotates counter-clockwise, it's a left-hand rotation. If it turns clockwise, it's right-hand.

Bank determination (Left bank, Right Bank)is with you standing at the back of the engine looking at the flywheel.


First digit in the model number determines what Series your engine is. 1000-0000

5 = 53 Series
1 = In-line 71 Series
8 = V-92 Series
9 = 149 Series




0230-0000: 2nd and 3rd digits determine how many cylinders the engine has.

06 = 6 cylinders
08 = 8 cylinders
16 = 16 cylinders

0004-0000: 4th digits determines the "application designation"

2 = Marine
3 = Industrial
5 = Generator
7 = Vehicle
8 = Vehicle


0000-5000: 5th digit determines the "Basic Engine Arrangement"

3 = Left-hand rotation, oil cooler mounted on the "Right bank" starter mounted on the "left bank"

4 = LH rotation, oil cooler and starter both mounted on the "right bank"

7 = RH rotation, oil cooler mounted on the "right bank" starter mounted on the "left bank"

8 = RH rotation, oil cooler and starter both mounted on the "right bank"


0000-0600: 6th digit determines the "Design Variation"

0 = 4 valve cylinder head
3 = Turbocharged engine
4 = Aftercooled engine
5 = Customer Special Engine
7 = Constant Horsepower (Twin Turbo)
8 = Constant Horsepower (Twin Turbo, Aftercooled)
A = DDEC 1 (Turbo Aftercooled)
B = DDEC 2 (Turbo Aftercooled)


0000-0078: 7th and 8th digits represent the specific model number.

Remember, the model number on your block determines the way your engine came from the FACTORY. Anything could have changed by others who have rebuilt your engine."
