I believe it's an older 230 based upon it having a pressed in oil fill tube rather than the later bolt on style. The engine # is very tough to read on the block. I will look at it again tonight. The shame is it looks like a low mileage engine being it had new valves and no cylinder wear when I pulled the head (got valves stuck running old gas). Runs great - no smoke and decent oil pressure - if you can belive the gauge. I wonder if the rear seal failed due to age.
