EC engine number is 1.8L Californian spec as fitted to Type 4s.  Don't know if
the 914 used any different though.  (Type 4 engine numbers on my website - see
under Type 4).

069F are the piston and cylinder sets for the twin carb engines from about Jan
'67.  Obviously you can tell if they're 87mm dia. - sounds like you've guessed
right, John.
