I have removed the engine from a rotten disco to put in to a lwb series which I'm building.
Today on the cylinder head I found a metal plate with
Fabricoda por International engines south America LTDA
What's going on ?

Means it was made by international engines in Brazil I think, they make the 2.8 version of the 300tdi under license. Didn't know they made the standard one though. You sure it's a standard engine? If you've managed to get a 2.8 Tgv engine thinking you were just buying a rotten disco then you've got the deal of the year
