I found the first number on the head, and the second number on the top right of the block (side with the oil filter).
Where is the engine number located? After having a look through the haynes manual for the sierra, the cvh 1800 R2A and R6A seem to use the same sized piston rings.

if i remember correctly the engine number is on the block just below the carb inlet manifold ... or was it below the exhaust manifold?
 i don,t think the main engine number is on the "head", its on the main block, which side i can,t remember,  you should have had a look at my engine earlier today  andy

Just been out again and the number i thought were just numbers appears to be 2 'letters' followed by 5 numbers, i think its MD for the letters but it really isnt that clear as they are quite warn away, im pretty sure its an M at the beginning, meaning its from 91. Hopefully it'll come up a bit clearer once i start cleaning up the engine.
Im guessing it would be wise to re-stamp the engine number onto the engine in a clear and easy to find place?

I have got to restamp the engine number on my zetec, what size stamps do you have to use?

Does anyone know if a restamped number would be acceptable for iva?
Or is it a case of doing it perfectly so it looks like the original stamping The reason i ask is my cvh number is visible but quite faint from corrosion, you can make out what it is when you have the log book in front of you to clarify what the numbers are What do people think: Leave as it is or restamp as neatly as poss using stamps the same size as ford did!

i,d leave as is, if they query it then you can show the log book & the fact that the engine number has never been tampered with
 it,d be harder to explain if they think its been altered to match with the log book thats what i,m doing anyway andy

Yeah i think i agree, that was my original plan until this thread was started and it got me thinking!
It sounds like the cvh engine number stamping doesnt stand up to the test of time quite so well
