Under the engine cover, right in the near left hand corner of the main block theres a bit that sticks out with the 3 letter number code stamped on it. Will get a pic later.

He asked for the engine number not the engine type. The three letters (AGU, AUQ, etc) won't be the actual engine number. To be honest I am not sure where that is stamped...  :undecided:
