  • (k) the engine specifications and adjustments recommended by the engine’s manufacturer;

  • (l) in the case of a spark-ignition engine, the valve lash, idle speed, ignition timing and idle air-fuel mixture setting procedure and value; and

  • (m) in the case of a compression-ignition engine, the engine power specified by the manufacturer and expressed in HP, the RPM at the specified horsepower, the fuel rate at the specified horsepower expressed in mm³ per stroke, the valve lash, idle speed and initial injection timing.

• Marginal note:National emissions mark

  (2) Paragraph (1)(a) does not apply when a national emissions mark is applied to the engine.

• Marginal note:Date of manufacture and unique identification number

  (3) The engine’s date of manufacture referred to in paragraph (1)(d) and unique identification number referred to in paragraph (1)(e) may, instead of being set out on the label, be permanently affixed, engraved or stamped on the engine.
