I agree with you about the year being stamped on the head, behind the exhaust manifold shield........however, you are incorrect about the rest that you said.
1 Million series JDM B16A (first gen) motors come from the 89-91 Integra XSi & RSi
5 Million series JDM B16A (first gen) motors come from the 90-91 CR-X SiR and Civic SiR (EF8 & EF9, respectively)
there was never a JDM B16A with 170hp until 92, when the SiRII motor came out.
Trust me, my first B16 was a 5 million series, and my current one is a 1 million series. I purchased the longblock from hondamotorsonline, and a flex plate was mounted on the block where the flywheel normally is. This told me that it came off of an
automatic Integra XSi or RSi. The 90-91 SiR (Civic or CR-X) was never available in automatic, it was only available in 5 speed. If you still don't believe me, PM Setanta or Moppie and ask them to read you the first number off of their serial number. I guarantee that both of them will start with a 5 because both of them own a 90-91 Civic SiR. thanx for reading
