If you don't have one it might turn them off. If they don't do a check, well, buyer beware ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can prove it has been destroyed I would restamp the original engine number and provide the buyer with a copy of the receipt for purchase of the new unnumbered engine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is in Nsw as well!!! Seeing as you bought a new block you should have receipts I would assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy mechanics just keen to finish the job and get to the next one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to get the engine fitted, then went to Transport SA so they could see that it didnt have an engine number.They then issued me one, and I had to go back to the mechanic and get him to stamp it(*beep* to do with engine in car), then go back to Trans SA and get them to check it was correct.No full inspections needed in SA.
