    Default Where is the engine number on an RB30?

    I just got a RB30 Turbo Patrol as a parts car for my 4WD and want to do some checking on it.

    its stamped on the block at side near oil filter and usually difficult to read, a mirror and a torch may help

    Thread dig!!!! Lol.
    for someone who knows nothing about engines I will try to explain.
    drivers side > oil filter > engine mount > then oil dipstick
    if you look between the engine mount and oil dipstick it is there just above an empty bolt hole
    the empty bolt hole is just above the block stamp RB30
    it is difficult to see and you may need to clean the area to get a better look.
    if you still can't find it let us know and I or someone else will post a pic.
    Nobody wants to play with me
