The engine number of Baojun 510 is located on the engine block. Open the engine hood, and the engine number is positioned at the lower right front of the engine block. The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, corporate or industry practices, and the attributes of the engine, for a batch of identical products. 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 cars or multi-purpose passenger vehicles are marked with the professional manufacturer, model, and production number as required. 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 engine models can be identical. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, where each engine can only have one unique engine number, and no two engines share the same number. Composition of the vehicle engine number: Front part: Includes product series code, generation symbol, and regional or corporate code. Manufacturers can choose the corresponding letters as needed, but they must be approved and recorded by the industry standard regulatory body. Middle part: Consists of the cylinder count symbol, cylinder arrangement symbol, stroke symbol, and cylinder diameter symbol. Rear part: Comprises the structural feature symbol and usage feature symbol. Tail part: Differentiation symbol. When differentiation is needed within the same product series due to improvements or other reasons, the manufacturer selects an appropriate symbol. The rear and tail parts can be separated by a hyphen (-).
Last time I helped my neighbor check their Baojun 510, I encountered the issue of locating the engine number. For this car, you need to squat near the front right wheel, lean into the engine compartment, and look for it on the metal surface of the engine block near the passenger side. It's partially obscured by wiring harnesses and not very obvious. You'll need to use your phone's flashlight to see it clearly—the stamped number is shallow. Last month, when I was handling the transfer for my dad, we almost couldn't find it. Remember to do this when the engine is cold, or the exhaust pipe will burn your legs. If you need to make a rubbing, using wide tape is more convenient. The safest option is to have the dealership make a rubbing for you during routine maintenance.
I do have some experience in locating the engine number of the Baojun 510. Specifically, it is located in the middle of the right side of the engine block, and you need to remove the engine decorative cover to see it clearly. There is a series of raised alphanumeric codes on the metal surface, which are usually obscured by the ignition coil wiring harness. It is recommended to clean off any accumulated dust before making an imprint. Last time during a repair, I saw an owner use red ink paste for the imprint, and it ended up smeared into a mess. This location must be checked during vehicle annual inspections or ownership transfers. If you can't find it, try observing from underneath the car looking upwards.
