I just purchased a jdm b16 longblock from a fellow honda-tech member. Upon arrival there was no block numbers on it. It had a orange stamp on it. The only identification is the stamp b16 on it. He said the reason for that is because its a factory rebuild. Can anyone confirm?

 

if it just says b16 with no letters after it then its a jdm motor

 

Well Im more worried of the fact that it has no numbers on it. Just a b16.

 

what do you mean by numbers?? serial number or model number?

 

serial number. under the b16 stamp.

 

Oh damn.... no number?? No seriel number under the block ID? Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Any paperwork?

 

yea he said its a factory rebuild. there's some sort of orange stamping on it. What do you guys think?

 

That Block is Just fine thats the way they come over here if you need a replacement block or engine...Also the 98 and newer Blocks from Spoon come this way...Just Plane old B18c..no serial # or 3 after the B18c...Just a Nice coat of red paint over the B18.. . .

 

ok so is it a rebuild or new replacements? what im gonna say to a cop if he pulls me over and pops my hood?

 

No serial # or A1 at the end of the B16 then I would say you might be suck'n in California if they pop your hood..??
