Re: DB605AS info - need to determine WHERE and WHEN?
Hello again,
George, your test report just confirmed what Hilmar from the LBB Forum explained to me - there was no DB 605 ASO!
The designation "ASO" is in fact "ASo" indicating a normal AS engine. In the official Daimler-Benz correspondence, both the "ASo" designations and the "AS" were used.
The "So" has its roots in the Sonderausführung (german for special edition), the same as the "S" only the second letter was sometimes added. It is just a different stamping but meaning the same - an DB 605 A with an enlarged supercharger intake.
@ George
In what codes are you interested in? The three-letter producer codes or the three-number producer codes incoorporated into the engine serial number?
best regards,
Tomislav
