Hi can anyone help me, Im looking for the engine number on my 1996 RS2000 engine. I need it for insurance. I dont have the log book through yet so obviously I cant get it from the V5.

It says in the manual that its on the block but there are alot of numbers around the block can anyone help me locate the correct one for the engine number.

Thanks Cliff

 

Its can be found in a couple of places, depending on how Ford felt at the time....

Its either just under the head on the front of the engine block, around the area of the o/s mount, mine is to be found here.

Or

Its on the side of the web near the starter motor, though I have not actually seen it in that location, but people have said that it can be found there.

Is it not on your V5?

 

That's brill I'll look tomorrow after work cheers. No I only just bought it so it could take 2-3 weeks for the v5 to come & I need it for insurance as its not the original engine.

Cheers

 

I have found on the front of the block in this configuration....

O9J83 or 09J93 (in an oval ring)
Ford
C851A
6015

Could any of these the the engine number?
Cheers

 

Could deff be one of those. I'll have a check on my spare engine in my garage to confirm.

 

Brill thanks

 

Mines NK5140 and its stamped into the block just above where the front engine mount would locate, no oval around it, which does not conform to the ones you have....

The 2.3 block I have has the engine number laser etched into the web by the starter motor, and this may well be the location for the mk6, especially a later one like you have?

 

Pm me your reg number and I'll do a vrm check on my system at work and get ya number from that tomorrow if you still need it...

I can't it's a different engine. Thanks for offer of your help though that's brill.

I cannot find anyothers numbers other than those stated above. However I don't belive any of those to be right as an engine number is usually the last 5 numbers of a vin. Eg, VX55544 so I'm lost
