Engine number
Just bought a replacement phase 2 silvertop zetec from the local scrappy as my current engine has a vibration at 3000rpm which I have failed to
cure.
Engine number on the left block to bellhousing web is a poorly stamped 666666. No NGA as there should be and there should only be five numbers.
Wrongly stamped replacement or what? Anyone any ideas? Have I been had?

Few of Fords replacement engines get there numbers transfered 
Time is money for a garage and its a short cut that Jo punter wont see in his tin top. 
Ive had three with no numbers at all, Talking to a guy last night and his was slapped on the head just above the thermostat.
Would doubt its dodgy unless there are signs of grinding to the block imho.

I would be very careful about fitting that engine as from the number it looks to be possed.
Marilyn Manson stamped the first 666 and Ozzy Osbourne the other 666; I would expect neither to have been a careful previous owner.
(unless you read it upside down in whcih case it is ok).
