Re: engine ID

That’s not a suffix code.
The last six digits are the last six digits of the part number of the motor.
The vb is a date code.
I’m not sure exactly what it decodes as.

Warning...that bangshift site is loaded with spamware and driveby links....be very wary if you go there....

Site contents essentially advise about the cracking of this series of blocks where they leak water into the valley....
