Engine ID numbers

Post by Heapofajeep » Thu Apr 14, 2022 5:31 pm

I apologize if this has already been discussed. I am trying to confirm the location of the MC#### for my engine on my M38. I have seen some references online however I have scoured my engine and cannot find the numbers. I also noticed that this engine has been painted blue at some point. Wondering if it’s been rebuilt or replaced at some time.

On the block, in front of the head, above the water pump, maybe.

Yeah I checked that spot, nothing. Only thing I could find was the firing order on the top of the rear portion of the head.

Well I found it, took a soft wire brush to the top of the block above the water pump. Came back as MC94288. DOD on the plate is 5/52, hood number 20944038
