Distinguishing a 6V92 silver from a pre-silver

November 08, 2006, 07:32:32 AM [HR][/HR] Is there any simple way to distinguishing a Detroit Diesel 6V92 silver from a pre-silver? Would a pre-silver be called a "green"?

8V92 DD Silver engines began with the serial number F73594 any number after that is a Silver engine.
These began in 1982

Not necessarily. I blame it on AGE.
