Is there a possible way of finding out wat year a JDM motor was made? i got a b16a, in my 1.6EL, juss swapped in, n i am extremly curious to kno if the asswipes, conned me, bout the motor bein a 1999 b16a....

 

the block has a date molded in to it, its round and if im not mistaken shows the month also and year of manufacture. it can be seen from the front in the K engine. ill look at the B and post where it is later.

yes it should be in the front (it is on the H) and normally you round up 1 year from whats printed to get the actual distribution year (or so im told).

 

tas cool, so since its on the block, it be near where the type of engine is stamped rite? I thought it be the VIN # on the motor....

 

It's located here:

In the picture it's reads 9/6 that means it's a 1996 & so on.......

 

where is the year on a jdm h22?

 

Look on the head not the block...

 

Alright Ill check that out tonight, thanks man.
