The 19L5 are readable, the  9  was very hard to make out but resembled a 9, sooo.
it's been decked so nothing on pad

It is stamped so lightly in the grainey cast oil filter area  ,maybe the 9 is actually a 2
so it could be 19L5244,  too lightly stamped to get a photo.

Mike,
Thanks for trying. But with a decked pad and an incomplete VIN, this isn't going to help anyone.
Just to let you know, I'll delete the thread in a few days.

One thing you can try is to rub some powdered chalk on the area where you can see some of the digits. Then brush it off lightly. That chalk will stick in the areas where the digits were stamped. May or may not help. It's worth a shot.

I know it's not much to go on,  Thanks for the help.
