RF can you read the engine serial code off the block, drivers side where the dipstick is mounted?

I think I already did the engine flush sort of. RISLONE and SeaFoam and about 2 miles of driving or less. The oil filter was a Mann-Filter W 950/4. Then changed back to Rotella 15w40 with same type new filter. I will look in a few at the # Scout.

Well....the intake manifold will be coming off. A hose clamp I was compressing on the fuel line just popped off and dropped down one of the trumpet horns! F#(&)^#%*A#%&^.

Can you leave RAM housing in place when removing the intake manifold?
