Pelican Parts has more than 10000 pages of Technical Content and information just for you and your 356, 550, Carrera, or 4-cam motor Pelican Parts: 356 Tech Info - Engine Serial Numbers Porsche 356 Technical Information. From July 52 they introduced a 1500cc super engine type 528 with roller bearing crank serial numbers 40001 -40117 that equals 116 engines. These were put into cab chassis numbers 15001 -15050 a total of 49 cars. This 528 engine had a compression ratio of 8.2: 1 higher than the previous engines. The first, and most obvious one, is the serial number, which uniquely identifies each engine. It is on the 'third piece' of the case, or timing cover, below the generator stand (or on the generator stand if you have an early 2-piece engine case), You will also find an engine type identifier, which was Porsche's internal code to designate the.
