R-2600, where there´s a engine ser. Nr. stamped on the block?

Hello,

where there´s an engine ser. Nr. stamped on the engine block of R-2600 except of the plate.
An engine from A-20 was found in Poland and they are trying to identify its Russian crew, more here Archeologia lotnicza ?l?sk Cieszy?ski

Hi Roman;

Try looking in the area between the cylinder heads. The engine in question has no data plate?

I don´t know Joe but don´t think so. I´ll let them know to check the area between the cylinders.

Try to see pistons itself. But there will be producers numbers only... Nothing useful for identification - registration from late 1943 was held by USAAF Serials only.
