Hoping that someone one the site maybe able to assist in identifying the physical difference between the following engine parts on a 1999 FC501 Vs. a 2000 FC501. I have the opportunity to buy a 1999 FC501 engine to be used for parts in my 2000 FC501 project but I want to be sure that I can use the parts otherwise i'm just wasting my time and money.
The parts book list the following numbers as;
CRANKSHAFT
1999 crankshaft - 210 106 01
2000 Crankshaft - 210 141 01
Interestingly the con-rod is a common part between the 99 & 00 model (210 075 01) Whatever the change is it has to be related to the crank halves.
CYLINDER HEAD
1999 Cylinder Head - 200 064 01
2000 Cylinder Head - 200 218 01
In this case the inlet and exhaust valves are listed as being a common part. Can't see what would be the difference looking at them externally.
In addition I have identified that the rocker cover, camshaft, cam gear, rocker system, timing chain, left side crankcase and piston are shared parts between both the motors.
From what I can see, the only significant difference between the two engines is the right side crankcase as the 1999 version utilises a mechanical clutch (cable) and the 2000 model utilised a hydraulic clutch.
