what motor?

 

look at the head.........tells you the year....9/8 or 9/9

 

If it's a b18c1, the first digit in the block serial # under the big B18C1 block code stamp will be a 6, indicating the sixth year of USDM production. 1994 would have a 1, 2001 would have an 8.

it said 9/8, so does that mean 98?

the block could be made in 99 and head in 98 which is will probaly be a 99 motor. For example...mine is a 95 but my head stamps 9/4 and people with 94 will have a stamp of 9/3...and so it goes

 

i believe that in 97 or so and up they started putting vin plates on the motors....correct me if i'm wrong on the year.

 

On my motor on the back above the oil filter i have the year stamped. I have a Jdm itr
