Found this on the internet.
951…….3 main bearing, Petrol, 8:1, military specification

Not sure what the S means in front, maybe a military rebuild code or something?

Is there a website you can go to in order to decipher the engine numbers and gearbox numbers?

Thanks Craggle & Autorover1, the S for service replacement could well be right.
