Please help with finding engine build date
I'm about to order the goodies for my stud job, and need to know my engine build date (18 vs 20mm head gasket.) I cannot find any stickers on the FICM at all. I read elsewhere that you can also determine engine build date by dipstick style and FICM mounting method. My truck build date is 01/06 so I need to be sure. My dipstick is the "yellow circle" style and the FICM mounting nuts have the "UFO" style. Based upon that, can I order the 20mm dowel gaskets with confidence?? Thanks so much!!

I just called my local Ford part dept and gave them my vin hoping they could give me the engine s/n. They told me it was 501066732508. Since that number is longer than the usual s/n designation, I'm ASSUMING that the last 7 digits are the s/n. That would make it 6732508 which would make it the latter "commonized" date and thus the 20mm gaskets. Correct??
