Serial numbers are stamped on Fan side of engine, look on the right side of fan at approximately 4 O'Clock on the engine case upright you should see a serial number that starts with a Star and ends with a Star.
Hope this helps, I should have more decoding info but most info is from VIN.
Can't find my other book.
