Those things are almost impossible to read, I have a copy of the title from the camaro my first LS1 came out of and when I looked at the number on the engine, it's still hard to make it out. So my question is, what do you need to read it for? Do you have the PCM, it's way easier to read in there!

I dont have the correct PCM according to the tuner (pcm for an 02 engine, mines a 2000)

Just want to pull dealer service history/build for my records.

i get ...
2G1FP22G0Y2 then you place ter last six of eng. # at end

If it is what eroc022 and I see then the last six are 1702Z2 = 2G1FP22G0Y21702Z2

But I dont think there should be a Z before the last #

so maybe a 7? = 2G1FP22G0Y2170272

Does think look like a possible VIN...can anyone run dealer history on it?
