The age of the cylinder head is given by a date stamp (two digits circled by dots) towards the front of the cylinder head on the driver's side.Very unlikely any car would still be out there with a date older than "80".
The age of the block,which in very rare cases match the head,has to be worked out from the engine number stamped on a raised upward facing flat metal surface just behind the starter motor.You may have to loosen a hose to see it clearly.
The Zundfolge 153624 just gives the firing order of the cylinders.Lamborghini still likes to prominently display this item ;-)
