I'm still looking for the casting code on the block but the date code is K163.
I need to pull the valve cover to get the date code on the head -- it leaks so bad so I've delayed in doing this. Will do this weekend.

b2-887-066-570 ??? where did you find that code? --- It's on the head between spark plugs 2-3

The valve cover is attached with 2 acorn nuts.

Just fyi - truck vin is 21kp19244
