The etched in number is most likely the engine plant information - (It came from Mexico).

They also stamp the vehicle VIN number on the engine, that will help determine what assy plant it came out of, which can help narrow down what car/truck it came in....

The only (variable) number I found that could be the VIN or partial VIN was the lazer(?) etched number. I think I used that number to track it. Don't remember now if I used it through the dealer I use or through some other contacts/systems. It was an LQK engine that I had enquired about and they jumped the gun and sent it out on a delivery truck, so I was able to get that info before I declined the delivery.

I remember tracking it all the way back to the insurance company who verified the truck had crashed down into a ravine. I later set my sights on getting a brand new engine...
