If you don't have one it might turn them off. If they don't do a check, well, buyer beware ;-) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86101-engine-number-needed-to-the-pits/page/2/#findComment-1419800 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 https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86101-engine-number-needed-to-the-pits/page/2/#findComment-1419816 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?

Lazy mechanics just keen to finish the job and get to the next one...

johno Donating Members 773 Member For: 14y 6m 20d Gender: Male Location: Mt Gambier, SA Posted 30/08/13 11:39 AM Share Posted 30/08/13 11:39 AM When I blew my engine, and got a new long from Ford, it didnt have a number on it either. 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.
