Hi Alan
An HD X2 wasn't a separate 'model', as such.
The X2 was an engine option package that you could order on any model HD (including utes & panel vans).
Most X2s I've seen have been Special or Premier sedans, although back in their day an HD |

The ID tags didnt reflect the X2 option, it was as Dr Terry said in his post, they were the distinguishing factors. The only thing Ill add is the engine number on the HD X2 was prefixed 179X..... to seperate it from the run of the mill 179.

Did the HD 179 x2 have a lighter colour red motor? with gold air filter and
gold breather. eng prefix 179x.
And the HR 186 x2 have the same red as the rest, with silver air filter and eng prefix 186 x2 and HR 186 s with 186 s prefix. as with all 186 s.

The HT had the 186S cam in all 186 engines, it was the HG auto that had the old 186 cam fitted, but advertised power output still remained at 130BHP. The trimatic 186S got the same treatment.

The HK-T-G 186S the same colour motor as std norm 186 ?
Its weard that 186S has a K prefix. in the HR X2 S and HK S.
The std 186 HT and the HG manual have the s cams, do they have the S valve springs.
The auto HG 186 s got, THE STD CAM ?
