check valve covers the bolt should be staggered not straight across : : also should have 3 casting letters on intake manifold and heads and back of block does it have a oil filter on block or canister in front at water outlet. also your exhaust manifold dump one in front one in rear any photos. your vin should start with VC56
scrape the flat spot on the block in front of the right head get the letters and numbers off of it.reply here with them will id the engine for you.
