hi I have a d16y7 engine...

does the # that appears below where it says D16y7, that number is it supposed to be the same VIN # as the car ? Or am I looking at the wrong VIN # of the engine

also, in the transmission, there is a sticker with some numbers....... Are they all need to be the same ??

thanks for the help

 

Well they all should be the same. Unless you switched out motors.

 

but the engine number is about 8 long ?

and the VIN its like 15 lol, I think im looking at the wrong engine number

no.

d16y7 is the block code
the number under that is the serial # of the motor

 

so If the VIN of my car is : JHMED9366KS001030, then in the engine belod D16y7 ( if the motor hasnt changed,,,example) its supposed to have: JHMED9366KS001030

no. The serial and vin #'s are not related.

 

and how do I know the engine is from the car ?

in this case, I know the engine is not from the car, but im trying to help a friend

 

i thought that engine serial numbers and vin's were related, but you would have to talk to honda or go through some other channels to find out if the engine had been swapped. i think that cops can find engines that have been chopped out stolen cars buy matching vin and serial numbers.

 

so, I found some info on this


the VIN number of the car has to be related with the VIN of the engine.... which is located is on the block on front of the radiator and on top of the oil pan
