So apparently VR6 engines didn't have a number stamped into them from the factory, only if a dealer fitted/refitted an engine.
Do I smell bull****? Or is this legitimate?

I couldn't locate the number on my cars block today.
There's a spot for it where the serpentine belt tensioner pulley is - no number there.
It's supposed to be on the front of the block under the intake manifold, near the gearbox? - no number there either.

So I don't know what to believe.
Anybody care to shed some light?

Thanks guys.


Ps: I know the number is on the sticker the rocker cover, but I need one for rego purposes.
