There should be the engine number on that part of the block. If it's different to the original number then that would be a good sign I guess.

Always joke about it going to blow up, the vin number I think was within that recall range for the big end bearings
Serviced every 12,500km before I owned it, now every 3-5000km and also had every single fluid and service item has been replaced in the last 12-18 months - Just because it makes me feel better knowing it's been done.
