Where Can I Find The Date My Engine Was Built?

dansgt · December 18th, 2007, 02:25 AM

as the title says. one of the service bulletins for the 03 pertains to some with romeo engines built before a certain date. if it is one of those, the heads get replaced, and the warranty on my car covers that type of work, so if i have that engine imma make em replace the heads. but i dont know how to tell or where the date is on the engine. anyone know?
