1. Under the Hood:
* On the Engine Block: The engine number is usually stamped directly onto the block. Look for a flat, smooth surface on the side of the block, near the front, where the engine number is often etched.
* On the Engine Tag: Some 1994 RX-7s might have a metal tag attached to the engine block. This tag usually contains the engine number, along with other information like the production date.
2. Other Locations:
* Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Plate: The VIN, located on the driver's side dashboard, can sometimes help you trace the engine number through a dealership or Mazda service department.
* Service Records: Check any previous service records or maintenance documents you might have. The engine number might be listed there.
3. Mazda Dealership or Service Department:
* Provide VIN: Contact a Mazda dealership or authorized service center. They can often access information through their systems using your VIN and might be able to help you locate the engine number.
Important Tips:
* Clean Area: The area where the engine number is stamped may be dirty. Clean the area with a wire brush or a rag and some solvent to make the number easier to read.
* Multiple Locations: It's worth checking all potential locations to be sure you don't miss it.
* Professional Assistance: If you're still having trouble, consider having a mechanic or an experienced Mazda technician help you locate the engine number.
