KD = Kunden Dienst
Without getting into the semantics, essentially a factory-rebuilt engine. _________________ Thanks,

KD is usually associated with a" replaced at the factory" usually under warranty. And will often be noted on the Kardex engines stamped with AT were usually sold at dealers and probably rebuilt at the factory. Some other oddball engines out there includingat least one or two that start with POS believe it or not: https://forum.porsche356registry.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=49319&hilit=POS+engine+number |
