Hi im hoping that someone can ID this German Engine Relic,Ive been told it could of possibly have been from a Stuka.But searching the web and reference books i feel its more likely to be a Jumo 213 engine(which mark im not sure)
as the Jumo 213 has the ignition leads entering within the camshaft cover, whereas majority of the Luftwaffe type engines seemed to have the leads entering through the engine block.so i feel it could possibly be from an Fw190 or possibly a Ju 88.
Any help as always to id this relic would be very much appreciated.

One other thing to add there is a large stamp between the to exhaust outlets (290) could this possibly be Me 290?

So Definitely a Jumo 213 like above quotes could be from a Ju88 later variant,188, 388, Long nosed Fw190, He 111, Ta152a, Etc.
Now for the task of trying to possibly source which type of Aircraft my relic could of come from.
Not sure whether the exhaust stubb type could throw some light, as i know the Merlin type engines had different Exhaust stubs I.E the hurricane/Spitfire, had a different Stub to the say Lancaster.
Going by the Jumo 213 Relic i have the part of the Stub that mounts to the engine block has 4 mounting points (Studs) but also has an additional 2 added above and below, also the shape of stub that was damaged in the crash is of a rectangular shape, whilst researching the Fw 190 the shape appears to be of a circular design,
Could this possibly help to I.D. Aircraft.
(As always any Help very much appreciated.)

does that mean majority of the Luftwaffe engines had more or less than 3 valves?
I don’t know, though it would certainly be easy enough to do the necessary research. But a three-valve configuration is far more unusual, generally, than four valves (like a Merlin) or two valves (like all U. S. radials).
Sort of like three-cylinder engines, which do exist, but there are far more twos and fours…

No, the Jumo 211 had three valves as well.

Stepwilk I take it a 3 valve head was only fitted to the Jumo 213 engine, does that mean majority of the Luftwaffe engines had more or less than 3 valves?

IF it is a 213 no,but fits most late war Ju88/188/388 bombers,He111 and
Long nose Fw190Ds/Ta 152 types.
You can hear one run on YouTube…Fw190d engine runs.
It is a brute!

Many thanks for the above replies, so definitely not Stuka?

It is a Jumo 213.
Kind Regards,

It does indeed look like parts from a Jumo 213. Couldn’t tell you the sub-type though…

A three-valve head…was that unusual enough to help narrow it down?

No. But the photo of the RAF pilot bottom right is “Humph” Russell of 32 Squadron, 1940, and the Luftwaffe pilot is Oblt Helmut Strobl….! 😮
I really must get out more.
