If you're doing a pre-purchase due diligence check -
- Engine number should be on the PPSR register.
- Depending on state or territory, the online rego check facility might have the engine number listed. Tasmania's online rego check does, not sure about other states / territories.
- The engine number should be on the rego papers. (Mind you, South Australia can be exceptionally slack in this regard - the 242GT I bought down there didn't have the engine number or even the VIN / chassis number on the SA rego papers....)
It's also said by inspectors that finding the engine number on a 5-pot whiteblock is a real Kyle's mom in D minor.
