Alright, so if you're talking about Toyota codes (which it appears you are) there is a dash in between the letters. ex. 5s-fe, 3s-fe, 3s-ge,
4a-ge, 3s-gte, 2jz-gte, ect..
The letters before the the dash is the block code
S- 2L or above
A- 1L or 1.9
Jz- inline 6

The letters after the dash are the head code

Fe - fuel economy (usualy a DOHC but with one cam gear)
Ge- true DOHC (two cam gears)
T- Turbo

Now, this is how Toyota does things, each manufacturer has a different system of codes for engine size, block design, and head type. Basically, it comes down to memorizing them for what ever manufacturer you deal with.
