HMO is a great place to get your motor. Great prices, great products, and great customer service. Now with the b16 thing. With american motors each generation has a number after it. First generation b16 would be b16a1, second would be b16a2, and third would be b16a3. But I'm sure you know this?! But I'm not sure how to tell what year the motor is if it is jdm?

I've never heard that before? I pretty sure as long as you get a second generation b16 (b16a2 - 92-95), that it doesn't matter what year the motor is.

You can tell the year of the motor by looking at the cylinder head it will have a circle with two #'s on it. Those two #'s will tell you the year of the motor.

Troo that. I always see people calling the 92+ B16A the "B16A2." When i see that I instantly think USDM 99-00 Civic Si. Putting a number on the end of a Honda engine code means it's an export model (non-JDM). You guys should know this...

Hey Katman,

how do you tell what year an h22a motor is? Oh yeah, and I'm sorry about the generation thing. for some reason I always forget that the 99-00 si has the b16A2 in it. And yes I know I am a dumbass!

Not sure, I'm not an H22 guru, but probably the same way as a B-series.
All good on the dumbass thing.....lol
