Are you sure this isn't a casting number - cast into the side of the block.

The engine number is usually found stamped into the top of the block on the left hand side between the two centre cylinders.

No its stamped where the dipstick goes in I will try to put a pic up
Ha no I can't post one just tried on each head is engraved JE 324 I've sent John Eales a email and he said that the heads are his but but engine number is not , it would be nice to know what's in there without stripping it just for tuning purpose but to be honest it's the last thing I want to do , so I'm going to put it into my car next year [/url]
