As far as BJ8 29K engines are concerned, once the serial number tag is =
gone there is no way to identify that block again. The heads are not =
serialized separately. The engine serial tag is attached with two =
things that look like rivets, but they have a very loose thread and can =
be turned out like a screw if a slot is cut into the head. The aluminum =
tag will dissolve partially or completely in hot tank cleaning chemicals =
if not removed from the block. My personal observation has shown that =
that has happened to a very many engines. Replacing the tag on an =
engine that was missing the tag when you got it does not necessarily =
make that engine the same serial number as it was when it left the =
factory.

Hello

How do you ID an engine block/or head=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6that does not =
have an ID tag?
Do the engine block casting numbers mean anything?
