53 block or a 5 block

I looked at my '98 12V to see if it is a 53 block but the only thing visible was a 5? Does that mean it is a 53 block?

My 98 12 valve also has a number 5 block.

My 12v is also a 5 block. My 24v is a 53, though.

I thought the blocks would be double digit? Should I keep looking or does the "5" mean I don't have a "53" block so don't worry about it?

I have no worry about it, just curious.

If others are seeing only a 5, I think you are safe.

The 53's I have seen are pretty obvious-about 1" tall and not too spaced apart.
