I have a guy trying to sell me a b20 block but he said he sanded off the b20 serial number, he said he could mic the piston bore and show me its the right size but that does not mean ****. He could of bored it.

So my question is, is there any marking on the block that will tell me its a b20 ?

 

is there a vin stamp on the block? should be just above the oil pan

yeah and why would you sand anything off? ie sounds shady

Sure does sound shady, he said he knows it sounds shady thats why he is letting it go for super cheap. I will ask about the vin, thanks.

 

I guess he wanted to "street race", and say he had a b16 or something dumb like that. I'll look at my jdm b20 block and see if there is anything unusual about it.

He knows it sounds shady and understands that it sounds shady so THAT's why he's selling it for so cheap? That motor is ****** stolen.

 

Well, if you are still interested in buying the block, there is a simple way to tell if it is a B20 block or not. Look at the sleeves. If they are separate, then you are probably looking at an LS block. But if all the sleeves are one piece, it is a true B20 block.
