They do stamp a serial number on the head. It would be on the side of it that is machined flat and some of the other head manufacturer's will engrave their name on.

it is pretty small on my heads. I thought it was a GM number then I realized it was more like stamped in. They may have put them in different locations. I bey you will be a little pissed if they are the same heads. If they are an older set I think they redesigned the porting so you could still make more power with the new heads.

Look for a 4 digit number stamped into the end of the head on the face upon which the accessory brackets bolt. Small numbers, ~1/8" tall.

Default Stamped Serial Number

Where is the stamped serial number on the Patriot head?
