1) Identify the engine model. On the left side, upper surface of the cylinder block is found the #. It will be in the form of 110.9xx 10 xxxxx. It is stamped into the block surface; it is not a casting #.

2) If the engine is a non-US version [gray market] that has been brought into DOT compliance, reversing the process should be quite straight forward. In the event that it was originally a US or Canadian car, there will be a bit more involved.
