Neilly Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) So got the engine and the new number, how do I legally have the number stamped into the engine block and have the book updated accordingly. If I got this right, you do have a new number, it's just not stamped into the block...do you have paperwork from Ford stating this number? If yes, stamp the number yourself, take to DTI with paperwork from Ford and they ought to do a rubbing of the new number and stick that in the book. Disclaimer ...I've never done this before, but should work because there is no previous record/rubbing of the engine number Ford have given you Edited September 26, 2013 by Neilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 yeah should mention I do not have the book, the finance company does !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 yeah should mention I do not have the book, the finance company does !! Tell the finance company what's going on and they ought to release to book to their agent to have it updated. One guy I know replaced his engine and DTI wanted to see the old one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 yeah see this is why I want to know the proceedure as I will have to take the truck and engine to the Transport dept in BKK and I do not want to have to make multiple trips as the tilt tray will become rather expensive.

Daffy D Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Sorry to chip in here without an answer for you but I don't understand how there can be an engine without a number. Even here in LOS that seems a bit extreme. As I understand it you have paperwork, a receipt, for the engine that has a number but there is no number of any sort stamped on the actual engine. How do you know you have the right engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace of Pop Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Get the Engine put in then. They want to see the Complete set up ,not a Box O Bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know you have the right engine? Or a rebuild. One would think a rebuilt engine would already have a number. Moot point though as you cannot buy oem pistons for the 2.2 puma engine and I doubt anyone would go to the expense of custom ones when a short motor is cheap.

BSJ Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I don't understand why you need a tilt tray to go to Bangers. Stamp the engine with the number given, drop it in and drive it to where ever you need to go to get it checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrain Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 yeah should mention I do not have the book, the finance company does !! You don't need the book, same as you don't need the book to pay your yearly taxes, you can proceed with a copy of the book and the finance company will have the book updated later.

That is the answer Iam looking for because at some time in the future I will most likely want to sell the thing and have no desire to be <deleted> around cause the engine swap appears to be dodgy.

The relevance is that things can be checked at other locations as where the car is registered, and the book will be updated anyway.

WarpSpeed Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) All engines come from factory with a number. LOS must be the worse place not to have an engine number as here paperwork and numbers rein. Once on the street it could be a stolen lump with the ID removed. Main dealer should sort it. Erm people, I didn't say "NO number" I said the same engine number as the previous engine stamped. I agree that the dealership that sold the engine should sort it though, but that has been shot down already.

WarpSpeed Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Just taking a stab here so don't lambaste me please but it seems that even IF they noticed the number difference why would it be a problem? If there was no # previously and you have the paper work on the new one you just bought should be no problems for the Transport office, they'd just note the change in your blue book when reported. This is exactly what Iam trying to find out, is it as easy as me stamping a new number then fronting the transport office ? Seems dodgy because now that I have the document from ford with the number what is stopping me from stamping a stolen engine and fitting (in the future if I kill another). Well on the up side the engine has NEVER been stamped so it can't really be considered stolen obviously, there is no tampering with a previous ID and you have paper work (I assume) from a dealership for the new engine so I don't see it becoming an issue if it is registered as a repair in the blue book.

WarpSpeed Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 With or Without matters not, the Book must match the Vehicle. Big prob when one sells and the etchings dont match the Book. Never heard of a codeless engine myself, there must be one,or how do you claim when it fills up again.?. Most crate engines have no code.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonman Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Well seems the process is, Take old and new engine to Transport Dept along with all supporting documents for the purchase of new engine and the Transport Dept will stamp the new engine and update the book and their records. Than can put engine into vehicle and all is happy and above board. Anyone wanna buy a 13 month old Ranger with less than 14k on the clock (still has not had first service @ 15K !!) ?

Thanks for posting the correct procedure for exchanging engines - it actually makes sense after all! Are you selling the Ranger with the new motor installed? If so, what kind of warranty will the new engine have from Ford? Tell me it's an automatic transmission .... What are its specs (4 door?), any mods and photos?
