Engine serial number help

[doscientosX]

I have tried to be self sufficient however I cannot find the serial number on a 200x motor. Any help?

Way down on low left side under the shifter shaft

Ok in the stamped box between the shifter shaft and the oil drain plug?

Well it is that easy but in my case not. I saw the box and cleaned it well and looked with a flashlight, nothing. Took a piece of sand paper and cleaned off the paint, nothing. So I am assuming the numbers have been rubbed off for some reason. Got this motor in a trade a few years back, don't know the history. Guess I'll do the best with what I know on seeing it is the same as my 84 and using the jug off it in my rebuild.

Take a pic of it and post it up.

Only reason I can think of for there to be no numbers is that perhaps it's an OEM replacement case half. I know some MC and small engine manufacturers sometimes left the serial pad blank on replacement case halves.

Yeah that sucks, it's been removed

Well it ment something to someone at one time. Not a stock piston and a copper head gausket. I wonder it's true story......

It also looks like it dropped the exhaust valve.

A new replacement case from Honda wouldn't come with any numbers . Not that uncommon.
I went threw a half dozen left side cases while racing back in the day .
