All engine components are divided into twelve major groups of functionary related parts. A list of the groups appears in
the index of this manual.

one group has no relationship to the type number of another group.
All optional material type numbers are shown on the engine Option Plate. The plate is shown in the illustration below.
The names and type numbers of optional equipment built into the unit at the factory are listed on, this plate, along with
the unit model, serial number and custom specification (if any). Material not listed on the Option Plate is standard
