Where is the stamped engine number of the BJ80 located?
2 Answers
This vehicle's stamped engine number is located on the left side of the engine. The numbers on the stamped engine number represent the engine code, which consists of four parts with the following meanings: 1. The first part includes the product series code, generation symbol, and regional/enterprise code. Manufacturers may select appropriate letters as needed, but these must be approved and recorded by the industry-standard regulatory body. 2. The middle part consists of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement type, stroke, and cylinder diameter. 3. The rear part includes symbols for structural features and usage characteristics. 4. The tail end is a distinguishing symbol. When differentiation is required due to improvements or other reasons within the same product series, manufacturers may choose appropriate symbols, with the rear and tail parts potentially separated by a "-".
I've driven the BJ80 for several years. The stamped engine number is usually located on the engine block, positioned towards the front right side near the cylinder head. After opening the engine hood, look for a metal surface where the number sequence is directly embossed. If it's hard to read, I suggest using your phone's flashlight or applying some dust to make it more visible. During regular maintenance, avoid covering it with strong cleaning agents - this number serves as proof of the vehicle's identity for transfers or repairs. Remember to take a photo backup just in case. As the car ages, rust may cover it, so always clean the area before handling to maintain visibility.
