Javelin Engine Numbers

Post by David Morris »

Hi All,

Does anyone know how many Javelin/Jupiter crankcases actually got made up into engines and were then Nearly 9000stamped with engine numbers?

We know that 23,307 Javelins were made but my Javelin has an engine serial number of E3PE32071. I have heard that there was a high 'scrappage' rate at the factory, but this seems excessive? Were nearly 9000 scrapped on final test?

Also, does anyone know at what engine number were the 'O' ring liners introduced?

Many thanks,

David
