Default How to tell the difference SC AJ26, AJ27 and AJ34 engines (XKR X100)
Telling the difference between AJ26, AJ27 and AJ34 NA engines is quite easy via the different engine covers.
It doesn't seem as easy with the supercharged variants.
What are the AJ26, AJ27 and AJ34 SC engine visual differences?
AJ34 has CVVT so can spot that.
But AJ26 and AJ27 is more difficult.
Any simples solutions (besides trying to read the engine number).
Any engine bay photos would help.
Thanks in advance.
