PRODUCT REPORT
1948-1949 BUICK SHOP MANUAL
(4)
The engine serial number is stamped on a boss on right side of crankcase below push rod cover.
Engine serial numbers have no Flint or other assembly plant identification; however, they carry
suffix "4", "5", or "7" to indicate use in Series 40, 50, or 70 respectively.
A stamped dash mark (-) about 1,4." long directly following the engine number indicates a
.010" O.S. production standard engine.
PRODUCT REPORT
Product Report Form
S-75~-4
is furnished to all Buick Dealer Service Departments to enable
them to report product difficulties.
These forms should be filled out in duplicate and forwarded to Zone Offices each week. Zone
offices forward the reports to the factory. The factory Engineering and Inspection Departments
analyze the Reports and use same to improve product quality.
Unless a Product Report is made on each service difficulty and each
difficulty rep
orted each
time it
occurs,
it is impossible for the factory analysis to be correct.
Dealer Service Department cooperation in supplying reports is appreciated
by
the factory.
Service Departments are repaid indirectly for time spent on these reports in that it enables the
factory to build the product so as to require the minimum of service
when
cars
are
received by
Dealer Organizations.
