Finding the year of an engine.
I was wondering is there anyway besides taking my car to the dealer to find out what year my engine is? I bought my car used and some friends have said the motor looks newer than the year of the car. Any help would be appreciated.

i believe there should be a stamp on the block...somewhere, like a little clock dial, one having the day, month, and year... tho i could be wrong, but i know thats how they normally do it.

maybe it was cleaned before you bought it? my dad's '88 civic looks like it has a D16z6 engine without the VTEC logo thingy... but really...it's a D15:finger:

I know it is a Vtec
I know that it is a D16Z6 Vtec engine.. Just curious as to how old the engine actually is... Whether the odometer is right or not... Thanks.
