monstaru Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 itis fairly simple to locate the engine number on the engine.on your 85 , go look right next to the distributor to the left a bit and you will see that it says ea-81 or ea-82.i bet that one is an ea-81.your 87 is more than likely an ea-82.the main difference in these engines is the timing belt setup on the ea-82.there are other differences, but that is the most noticeable.

4WDFrenzy Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I think your 85 is an EA81 and the 87 should be an EA82, but don't quote me on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 All 1985 wagons, sedans, and other cars except Brat and Hatchback use the EA82 engine. I have a 1985 wagon and it is an EA82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrat Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 ill have to check the # when i get them towed to my house this evening im hopeing the motors are the same model since im dropping the 87 motor in the 85. just curious is the # difference meaning ohv or ohc motor? yes. ea81 = ohv ea82 = ohc your should both have ea82 engines, unless they were modified from stock (like my 87) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
