What is your build date, it is on either valve cover, white tag.

Re-check those white tags again, could be on either valve cover.

Tim, I've looked at those white tags 100 times trying to find anything that looked like a date. It's got a bar code and "4907". The Blue sticker says 2004 and that's all.

Tim, My engine is the same as pacemakers, I can't find a build date anywhere on the valve covers, there's just a blue sticker that says 2004. Sticker in door jam says 10/03.

To find your engine build date pop hood raise it up stand by drivers side front fender just in front of drivers side door look between the little shock that holds the hood up and look to the back of the back of the engine there is a tag that says 5 Jan 04 for example.
