How to Find Your Serial Numbers on a Honda Engine
How to Find Your Serial Numbers on a Honda Engine
As a general rule, serial numbers they are printed in or attached to the main core the machine. Obviously it's not normally attached to peripheral parts as these are more likely to be damaged and removed. So with this in mind, for an engine, this means it is normally found somewhere on the crankcase. Here is a quick guide which may come in handy when you want to find a serial number on a specific Honda Engine model.
Honda Serial Number Format
A Honda serial number will always have a 4-5 letter prefix which is followed by 7 numbers giving you the complete identity of the engine.
