7.3 Inspection Hole for Powdered Metal Rod Determination

What year is your truck?

Its a 99.5 Im looking above the spin on oil filter and dont see any stamped numbers.

Here is a rough guide if you know your serial #.

*Beware* this is not 100% accurate, I check the # on my spare engine and it said it had PMR's. After I had the pan off I found it had forged. Also if you suspect it has a re-man in it they it wont mean a thing as the engine builder could have put anything in it.

It is beside the rear of the cooler, stamped vertically.

I must be missing it. Were is the cooler I see the spin on and thats it. Ah i see the cooler. i see numbers on the cooler. I washesd the engine and the valve cover sticker fell off. It says internation by navstar

2000 model B235cf

adv. bhp @ rpm 235 2700
