Looks like a 5.0L Coyote for the S550 from the Essex Engine Plant...

Is that the engine used for ground speed,or is that the air speed engine,it's a little hard to tell by the codes.:headbonk:

What about the year of production?

The 1st motor was built on August 6th, 2016.

2nd motor was October 1st, 2011.

I don't mean to insult your intelligence here.. just wondering if you're familiar with a QR code. That is what that is. You can download a free QR code reader to any smartphone and simply aim your camera at it and it will tell you whatever information is coded in that label.. hope that helps!

I checked and unfortunately the QR code displays the same numbers and letters written on the rest of the sticker, but in this order instead:
E1521 1101180290
FR3E 6006 CD

Nah... November 1st, 2018. ;)

The FR3E seems to be a 2015 part number... that doesn't mean it was built on that date though.

HG would be a '17 if convention holds, but it's curious that there's only 2 digits.

E1521 seems to be the part number as it stays consistent... The long randomness after that is likely a serial number.

What exactly are to trying to find out?

Nope, 2018 valves covers don’t look like that.

Nope, 2018 valves covers don’t look like that.

They don't cease production of older engines just because a new line started, they still need them for warranty replacements for the duration of the other years. There is usually some overlap there.

Nope, 2018 valves covers don’t look like that.

Nor is it November yet... it was a joke.

If that is a date code, it would be the other way around anyway...

so... August 9, 2016 and Jan 11, 2018.
