Merc 260 powerhead identification....

:confused:Is there a serial # stamped somewhere on a 260 powerhead. I just bought a used one and for future repairs I'd like to order a service manual. The mid I bought is from a diffrent motor. This is my first 260 and the learning curve is quite steep for now....Thanks Jim

Look on the left side where the case splits just in front of the timming arm. Should have matching numbers on both haves .

...with those #'s will I be able to order a service manual. Are they considered a serial # to the Mercury...?
