Now I've started this thread because I want to clear up all this rubbish that when you need to change your blown VE engine and you have to have the exact engine numbers on the timing cover to match your own engine now i can assure you that is a load of crap.
I have a ve sv6 2006 manual which needed a new engine I got one out of a ve 2009 calias used my own sensors and loom and car starts and run no issues what so ever.
So any LY7 engine will run no matter what car year it's from as long as it going into a car that had an LY7 engine init from factory.
Be the same with all ve engines. You don't need the exact engine numbers on the timing cover to match you're old engine as long as it's an LY7 or LE0 or LTT or what ever yours is that's all you have make sure.
So don't let anyone say otherwise and before people start bad mouthing me. I am a fully qualified mechanic i've done it myself. I did this to prove a point as so many wreckers state that your timing cover numbers have to be the same and tell you it won't run.
Use your ecu and loom and away you go.
Just want to add aswell will be the same with vz alloytec motors aswell. Don't need exact engine number on the timing cover if you need a replacement engine.
