I've found a 5 bearing 2,25 petrol engine for my Series 3 rebuild.

Before parting with my cash how can I verify it really is a 5-bearing engine? does anyone know the engine numbers at the changeover? any visual changes between engines?

Thanks
Steve

The engine serial and suffix can tell, they have a red color or take a look at this for a visual.
