Default How to tell what exact year a motor is?

How can you tell what year a motor is??? I know that you look at the numbers on the head above the headers, but what do they actually mean? Thanks in advance

i was told that the year is always one year older from what is stamped on the block...ie: a 95 stamped on the block would mean it's from a 94.

can someone confirm that?

but ther should be a 2-digit number stamped on the front of the block on top of the header. right in the middle.
