The engine number of the Baojun 510 is located on the engine block. Open the engine compartment cover, and the engine number can be found at the lower right front side of the engine block. The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, industry or enterprise practices, and the attributes of the engine. It represents information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and batch of the engine, including fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and static braking power.

Engines installed in passenger cars or multi-purpose vehicles are required to display the professional manufacturer, model, and production number of the engine. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's range, and multiple engines can share the same model. The engine number, however, is the production number of the engine, with each engine having a unique number. Composition of the vehicle engine number: Prefix: Includes product series codes, revision symbols, and regional or enterprise codes, selected by the manufacturer as needed with corresponding letters, subject to approval and filing by the industry standardization unit. Middle section: Consists of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. Suffix: Comprises symbols for structural features and usage characteristics. Tail: Distinguishing symbols. When differentiation is required due to improvements or other reasons within the same product series, the manufacturer selects appropriate symbols, with the suffix and tail possibly separated by a hyphen.
After all these years repairing cars, I can tell you the engine number of the Baojun 510 is stamped on the right side of the engine block, right on that flat surface next to the transmission joint. When removing the plastic cover, you need to use some finesse—first unscrew the three Phillips-head screws. But the cover is often caked with grease, so you'll need to spray some carb cleaner to see the stamped numbers clearly. If your flashlight isn't bright enough, it's a real hassle—I always keep a high-power flashlight handy for dim undercarriage work. The quickest method is to check the vehicle ID plate at the lower left corner of the windshield; the number there matches the engine block exactly. Just two months ago, I encountered a case where the stamp was illegible during a customer's ownership transfer—we simply reported the plate number to the DMV and it went through fine. During routine maintenance, I always clean this area to prevent oil buildup from obscuring the numbers.
