Default Block Numbers

Regarding blocks that have been decked or stamps that are not clearly visible. There is a method that is used to read the serial numbers on guns that have had the numbers ground off. Apparently the metal bruises and with this process you can still read the numbers. Kind of like an X-Ray. Not sure what the process is, just remember seeing it on one of those forensics shows. Anyway, do you think it would work on engine blocks? I'm sure if it would work it would definitely pay off for someone with a high dollar car that needed it. Also, along those lines, would it show a restamp due to different "bruising"? I'm not working on anything, and would no way be able to afford anything where it would matter, I was just curious and thought I would toss it out there and see what everyone thought.
