Default Engine year

Does anyone know how to find out the year of a Japanese engine? I remember seeing how somewhere but I cant find it anymore and I need this info for my swap.

Would it be in english? Cause i found 3 squares on the front of the head towards the bumper right below the valve cover, but it had Japanese writing in them.

The year is stamped in the head, here's a snap of my spare motor.



The head is a 94.

On the block beneath the engine code, there's a small series of numbers, I think six numbers total. The first number in the series is the year. On mine, it has a 2 and it's a B18C1.

First year the B18C1 was available - 1994
Stamp on block = 2 = second year.

Year on block = 1995
Year on head = 1994
My 94 Block developed a rod knock, hence the reason for the 95 block.

Get it?

you showed the wrong stamps, its the stamps like those shown but on the left side between 3 and 4 cylinders.. and if those numbers looked like those above the engine would be a 90 or 91 (impossible for p72 casting)

Those are the right ones and it saying a 94 would mean it came on a 95 production year car since the stamps are a year earlier.

Head made in 94 was either a late made 94 model or made for the 95's. Since cars are released the fall before the actual year for the model.

i.e. a 1995 integra was made and ready for sale in fall of 1994.

That acual looks like an 8 though. look at third circle from left that is an actual 9.
