Dipstick tube and backplate for a 1600 TP with AS Cases

[Eeza]

My dipstick is held to the flange thingy by chewing gum (its PTFE tape :lol: ) as the threads have been damaged (butchered) by a PO at some time in its life.

I removed it to have a look but it’s really not in good shape...

Anyone got one :?:

Except you say it's an AS case, I have said it's a converted Type 3 case...any chance of a picture to clarify exactly what your after, I have a scrap case that still has the dip stick tube in.

Looks like a type 3 case, even has type 3 tin under the barrels...is there an engine number stamped on the top?

Moler the cases are stamped AS 41 (+ some more numbers) on the bottom at both sides (under the pushrod tubes)

There is an Engine number but its not in the conventional place under the Dynamo stand, Its blank there, the engine number runs from the the front towards the back of the engine between the fuel pump and the Dynamo stand....

So AS are type 3 cases ? that kinda makes sense that when I look at diagrams of Tin for a 1600 TP in a T2 mine seem a little different

Thanks for the linky that looks to be just the job

AS41 is the alloy used for the case, the other numbers are part numbers.

The position of the engine number makes it a Type 3 engine case.

The engine number, the one stamped on the top of the engine, should be prefixed by a letter, non of which are AS for the type 3????

Happy to help
