Engine SN is on right side behind distributor, stamped on machined pad. Starts with displacement, I e 248xxxx. Do not try turning engine over BEFORE removing valve cover, oiling valve stems and tapping them gently with a rubber hammer or 2 x 4. If stuck, tap gently while keeping them oiled ‘til they come loose. Otherwise bent pushrods may happen.
