Engine Number

[Loreto1028]

I have a 2022 Badlands down in Baja (Mexican registered and plated) and am looking to sell it but have run into an issue I never have had before. To transfer a car here they want to verify that the engine in the vehicle is the original engine and not a stolen engine. The VIN isn’t enough. Does anyone know where I can find it for the inspector? ChatGPT suggested driver side but its supposed to be on the side of the block and I can barely see that.

TIA

If you had a camera like this or a buddy with one you probably could find something stamped on the engine

Here's what I found...


The engine number on a Ford 2.0L EcoBoost engine is typically stamped directly onto the engine block, located on the front left-hand side, near the junction with the gearbox and facing the radiator. It may also be found on a sticker or barcode label affixed to the engine valve cover or block.

• Physical Location: Look for a stamped serial number on the machined surface of the engine block.
• Sticker Location: A sticker with the engine code/serial number is often found on the driver's side valve cover.
• Alternative Identification: The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) can also identify engine specifications, with characters 4-8 usually indicating the engine type and size.

If the stamp is hard to read, a high-quality photo can assist in identifying the number.
