I wouldn't really go by reg letter fella, it doesn't work like that, that just tells you the first reg date, you need the build date or serial number.

Where can I find it on the engine might pop down to check on the code

Not observed any differences in the blocks myself. Wiki is not always authoritative.
The coated pistons on the later engines do make holing a piston less likely. And injector servicing also reduces the likelihood of that happening.

Ive seen 19j's with every piston cracked and still going strong, I doubt changes in the block would have been obvious, but it was obviously needed to prevent them from cracking and splitting.

What you mean on an oil drum as I have a big 45gallon one right next to the engine

Just that. On top of a 205 litre steel oil drum.

On a flat on the side of the block, under the cylinder head.

Down the left hand side somewhere if I remember correctly, get a photo too, we like photos.

So have I, and sometimes with a blown HG as well.

Sorry, still not convinced about the blocks, they all look the same to me.

They will do, the changes were probably minimal, might have just been the main bearing seats that were different.

Yep. So minimal they were non existent.

Two part numbers are listed, RTC5031 and ERR479 , RTC6795 is superceded from RTC5031, ERR479 is from serial number 19J27515C so my guess is they did something other than change the part number..

Note the breather pipe is much longer than usual

THe linger breather for the oil in the later ones

IF I’m correct and it is a late model engine then the internals are stronger so it’ll be a much more durable N/A

they are not ,apart from a drilling across the block to supply turbo the blocks are the same

In 1988 they fitted a new block, from what I gather it had extra fins inside or some such thing to give it more strength. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Rover_engines#Diesel_Turbo_(Engine_Code_19J) , ive had both the very latest (present engine) and one of the first they produced, either one as far as I am concerned is just as good as the other.

no, pistons had a coating and exhaust valves had thicker heads,blocks just had drillings

Won’t the engine blow up with all the extra Oil in the engine though if I plug the feed and return pipes

What feed and return pipes? The pipes I am talking about are diesel and air pipes, going to the boost unit on the fuel pump.
The oil feed to the turbo is just an oil gallery, the oil will go somewhere else if you block it. A 2.5 NA doesn't even have the drilling for the oil, and they don't blow up.

Yes the oil pipes changed the turbo now won’t bloody start now turns over really slow knew the engine was too good to be true for a 100quid

Sounds like flat battery, loose terminals, or a poor starter motor.

The teeth on the starter were a little worn but it started on the button when I changed it will tighten the terminals once battery is charged
