where the heck is my engine #??

I cAnnot find it o No: Me, and the current owner couldnt find it, and a team of 5 mechanics couldnt find it. We spoke to a few Buick gurus and they told us where it should be, and it aint. Its not there. It ran away. So, this Buick aint getting rego yet......
Anyone else have this problem?

 

engine numbers

If the engine is iron;
clean the area where the guys said the numbers are supposed to be, then use a weak solution of hydrochloric acid and swab the area. wait and the numbers will re appear.
If the metal is alluminum;
simply rub a lemon on the area where the numbers are supposed to be and they will appear.
Standard law enforcement proceedure. :laugh: :laugh:

 

the block has probably been decked at some point. thus the 'extreme' measures Doc is recommending.

 

The engine and year has evverything to do with the numbers location. Could yoy restate that info?
