G'day everyone. I am building a 202 for my LJ Coupe and have a quick question. I want to use blue/black internals (rope seal) in a pre pollution red 202 to avoid any rego issues. My question is can you get a pre pollution rope seal 202. As in which came first rope seal or the ADR rules. Does anyone know what casting numbers I need to look for? Cheers, Mark.

Somwhere around 1973-4 from memory the rope seal came back. So you are looking for engine number QL42 to QL73 approx. Could also be QM in the same number range, but 11QL should be all neoprene. Torana engines will also work but early ones should be neopre Edited by user Wednesday, 6 June 2007 10:16:10 PM(UTC)

Thanks for the help mate. I'll try to find one of the casting numbers you mentioned otherwise I'll just run with the second method as I plan an using a blue/black head at any rate. Cheers.

A: if he puts a later engine in it has to comply with the pollution control equipment for the later engine, which loses power
b: if he changes the engine block the vehicle is no longer original, if he uses an original engine or close to original it remai
