How can you tell the difference between a 308 and 262 with twin H . It's in a 53 or 54 Super Wasp. Thanks drivergo2:)

    The 308 blocks have a reinforcing ridge along the bottom of the crankcase, whereas the 232 and 262 blocks are plain sided.

    The rib is about 1 inch above the oil pan rail on the left (distributor) side of the block & runs the length of the block. It protrudes about 3/16 of an inch.

    SCUSE ME, rib is about2 in. above oil pan rail & there's one on each side of the block!

    Note the rib on the side of the block... 232 and 262 do not have this rib.

    Whomever owns that engine needs to replace the original "crankcase breather FILTER" with a tapered, shorty one from K&N; otherwise airborne debris (dust, sand, etc) will get into the crankcase (oil, filter, bearings (cam, rod & main) and serve to destruct the oil rings, & u-name-it).



    The original breather's are basically worthless; I believe this is the primary reason for the oil rings to wear out prematurely, in addition to bearings, timing chain, valve guides & all moving parts.



    On the other hand if you plan on just looking at it and not running it, looks pretty/original.

    You can go to the K&N website and look it up, knowing the OD of the oil filler tube (based upon my memory, ~ 2").

    You could slide the rubber flange over the tube and add a simple clamp to hold it in place which would require unscrewing it at each removal, plus retightening during reinstallation.



    However, in my case, I put the clamp on the tube just below where I want the filter to rest; filter's a snug fit so it won't go any where.
