Yes, I have already done a search.
Where exactly is the number? I know its on the drivers side between cyclinder 1 & 2, but I cant find shit. The only number Ive found is a number on the passenger side under the extractors.
Any help appreciated.

Cheers.

Number or name of the engine? The name is behind the timing case just under the 1st inlet runner. It is cast in the block. You might need a mirror.

Well I looked and degreased it and shit and still couldnt find it. I got a friend to look it up for me and it was previously registered with no engine number.

Had another look 10 mins ago and I found it. Some of the numbers were almost corroded away, thats why I missed it at first but I managed to get it. Still got me fucked how it was registered without the number before.
