Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 1998.5 and not a 53 ??

[Ralph Heron]

Been going thru the threads on the 53 block cracking and gave my block the once over... Don't find the 53 anywhere on the motor (or any cracks below the exhause manifold for that matter). If this isnt a 53, where else where these blocks cast and why isnt there an issue ??



Thx,

Ralph-
