How to identify EJ207 block from EJ205
Hi Guys,
Can anyone confirm to me how to identify an EJ207 block from an EJ205 block?
I'm talking V5/V6, so the EJ207 from those cars will be open deck blocks, so that rules out the easiest way to tell many blocks apart.
TIA!

Pretty sure my EJ207 says "EJ207" on it, or maybe I am thinking of the badge under the bonnet
It's dark now but if you don't get it figured out by when I get up tomorrow, I'll go check for you

I have found info on the different stampings, which I assumed would be the key, but for the V5/V6 all the stampings are the same for both WRX (205) and STi (207), which isn’t very helpful.
As per the thread in the link above, the engine code is printed on the sticker on the cambelt cover, but A. The start of the engine code has rubbed off the sticker on both the engines I have and B. The cambelt covers could be off any engine originally and there’s nothing to say the engine code still relates to the engine they’re fitted too.

I don’t believe there’s a visual difference in the pistons. I believe there may be a visual difference in the crank, but what exactly? Does anyone have a photo of an EJ207 Crank against an EJ205? Or whatever else will show me where the difference is.

I've now positively identified both engines I have.
One was an EJ205 and the other was an EJ207, which is what they both should have been respectively from the information I was given, so good news.
EJ207 had visibly different pistons marked as HF-1, which is correct.
