Hi, I have posted this thread on the PBO forum, now someone has suggested trying on this forum aswell, as the engine was/is used a great deal in cruisers, so my apologies if you have read it before:

My problem is that our MK4 engine (number 711M6015BA) has gone through the process of being rebuilt and still smokes rather more than I would have expected. All moving parts have been replaced like for like, the manual settings have been followed word for word and we still get the smokies. It has been suggested to us that in a previous life the camshaft may have been replaced, what I need is the part number of the original camshaft so I can check if the one we have is the right one or not. For those who have looked in their manual, I cannot find 109E on the end of the shaft or a blue painted line, the only number I can read is 771M-8250?A: I have tried emailing Stephenson Marine twice for the information, and so far they haven't replied even after a skype call. So if anyone can help I would be extremely grateful. Many thanks Derek
 
711m6015be is the engine block casting number, the engine serial number is on a protruding part of the block just beneath the cylinder head face on the exhaust side of the block, you may not be able to find it as the water cooled manifold may cover it.

Reading that 711m number brought back a lot of memories from my rallying ford escort days!!

I put plenty of con rods through 711m blocks till I got my first bda engine.

Hi, the other number I can find is FK15509 if that makes any sense to you, supplied in May 1981
