Hello folks. I’m a new member here. I am having a shop perform a PPI on a 1975 2.0 that I am looking to purchase. They can’t find the engine serial number. Isn’t it located on top of the engine, in front of the oil filler neck? Thanks.

Mystery solved. I was able to track down the original owner, and he said he threw a rod in 1979, and had to get a replacement block. Thanks for everyone’s responses.

I've never thought about this before but why would a replacement block not have a serial number? If a dealer had the proper stamps (or whatever you call them) I guess they could match the new block to the old engine number? |
