Usage:

Description of Change: The serial number plate for engines in the above applications is mounted on the curved surface of the block, above the bore for the injection pump drive. See illustration 1. The new location makes it easier to read the data on the plate. A longer, narrower plate is used with adhesive backing to fit on the new location.
