Helm or Haynes manual show you what each digit of the VIN # means.

Fine, I'll start translating loup's rambling into Engish:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">While I appreciate the information, DesertHonda, I already know what engine my car currently has. What I was wanting to know was what the stock type / size of engine that my car had since the previous owner had replaced the engine, but I'm not going to tell you my car's VIN since that would be too easy. I want you to make wild guesses as to what the stock engine in my car was.</TD></TR></TABLE>
