Hi,
If you want to be absolutely sure about the engine, pull the head, pull the cylinder and see if it is a 8 hole cylinder and crankcase. Nothing is 100 % sure in life, but a 10 mm spark plug head always goes with the 8 hole cylinder. I have never seen it in a different way (but that doesn't mean that it is a fact).


Wrong again, thanks to the people who pointed out that this info is indeed not 100 % correct. It seems to be possible to find a 12 mm spark plug hole head on a 8-hole cylinder.

Thanks for sharing the info,

Jensen

Ya don't need to take the engine apart to tell if the cylinder assy. is 8 or 9 holes.
Just look at the lower front where the cylinder assy. fits to the top case.
Tis visible for sure. ......................lm
