....I apologise for this question, as i know it has appeared here before, but....I have a 225 slant-six marine engine, although that shouldn't matter here, it's still a 225. The numbers on the block under the carb are:

530-14 0178:

AAWJ
The numbers on the crank are: AAWJ
3698966-4

1538
I.m pretty sure that is at least a 1976, or 1977 with a cast crank.
I really need to know what year this is, so i can rebuild it properly.
Thank you all in advance. Gray

DD I'll look. Appears that your photo shows the right side looking forward, just over the fuel pump....That's where my alt. mounts. At any rate, I'll look on both sides. Does the head need to be off to see it?
Thanks, Gray

Yep, above the fuel pump, inboard of the alternator's lower bracket, below the #1 spark plug. You do not need to remove the head to see it, though you may have to scrape/clean away some grease.

OK Here are the numbers as they appear on the lip under the alt.

8 22 5 R 6 72F Thanks, Gray

(Are you sure the "F" is not an "E" ?? Sometimes the bottom of the E is near or off the edge of the lip it is stamped on.
"E" at the end = cast crank SL6

DD, I'll try to see if it is an E or an F for sure...however, I do know that is a cast crank. Does that help? Thanks, Gray[/u]
