I therefore think my engine is a 318 in effect. Not that relevant but I though interesting given the subject.

Apparently there is a number possibly under the cylinder head that tell you the displacement of the block it would be interesting to know if it says 313 or 318 there would also be a letter/number code next to it such as 4W or M. You don't by any chance have any record of that? A bit of a long shot. |
