Can a 0-235 Lycoming be airworthy with out a data tag?
Far 45 (b) Aircraft engines . A manufacturer of an aircraft engine produced under a type certificate or production certificate must mark each engine by attaching a fireproof identification plate. Such plate—
(1) Must include the information specified in §45.13 using an approved method of fireproof marking;
(2) Must be affixed to the engine at an accessible location; and
(3) Must be secured in such a manner that it will not likely be defaced or removed during normal service, or lost or destroyed in an accident.

If the data tag was removed after installation of the engine in the aircraft, is it still airworthy?

What is a wide-deck and narrow-deck engine
For many Lycoming engines the same engine model may be a narrow deck or a wide deck. Each engine takes entirely different parts. How do you tell the difference. All wide deck engines have a engine serial number ending in A (except O-235 series engines). Lycoming serial numbers can be found on the engine data plate and also on the crankcase at the top parting surface.

WE know the S/N and we have logs. but no data tag.
