The engine casting number on my motor is GM3 3885849,
I can't find the number on the sites I have found with casting numbers. Any ideas or how to interpret?

I found the number on the distributor side of the engine and up front towards the fan side. It was hard to see being so close to the frame. Where is the head number located? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | For locations of all codes, please look at the link that I posted above.
