Engine model numbers can be located in several different places depending on the manufacturer and will typically be located somewhere on the outer portion of the engine shroud or housing. In some cases, it will be stamped, engraved, or printed on a tag attached to the engine, and in others, the info may be stamped directly into the outer housing.
