I need a new bottom end for my STI 8.
I'm looking at what I am told is an STI 7 bottom end. Is there any way of telling for certain it is an STI bottom end as opposed to a std?
Is the 8 a CDB, semi CDB, or an ODB?
Is the STI 7 bottom end the same as the 8?
Can it be identified by the engine number/markings on the case?

Thanks

Semi Closed deck. Also has extra crankcase breather.

 

Before I rely on this picture, is it correct?
