Hi there Sumpoiler,
There is a website under construction which will soon contain Wolseley dating info at www.wolseleystationaryengines.org/ . From info on a previous site (since lost), I found that your WD8 and mine were both made at some time in 1952. Hope this helps, Regards,
Combustor.

Was the WD a prefix for War Department? English military spec engine?
