hi i just bought a 87 accord that was in storage for a while, hence the owners manual has gone missing. i was tryin to find out what tpye of engine it had in it. can somebody give me some addvice on where to look for the engine number?

 

United States Market

'87 -'89 DX/LX (USDM)
A20A1 code 1955cc, 95hp @ 5500rpm / 109ft/lb Torque ( 2bbl Carb )
'87 LXi (USDM)
A20A3 code 1955cc, 110hp @ 5500rpm, 114ft-lbs Torque ( PGM-FI )

Canadian Market

'87 EX (EDM)
A20A2 code
'87 EXi (EDM)
A20A4

To verify what you have, there should be a machined pad on the Engine Block where the trans mounts; which will have the engine designator stamped.

thanks for the quick reply and the information. so are those the only two engine types it could be?? in reference to what you said about the canadian/us markets, when i looked up the serial number it said it was manufactured in japan.

 

'87 was right about when Honda started manufacturing accords off-shore (other than Japan), but there were still quite a few still making the boat trip.
What badge (emblem) sits on the rear panel? EX, EXi, DX ?

First Digit of your Vin designates Country of Origin:

1 = USA
2 = Canada
3 = Mexico
4 = USA
J = Japan
K = Korea
V = France

 

The first digit did verify that it was manufactured in Japan. The emblem on the rear of the car is EXi, what does that tell you??

 

A20A4 EXi (EDM (European Domestic Market)
1955cc (2.0L) SOHC 12 Valve (2 Intake, 1 Exhaust) 122hp @5500rpm / 166n/m Torque
PGM-FI Fuel Injection

The EXi is the canadian version of the USDM LXi

so you are sure that, thats the motor that is in there?? man you have a vast knowledge of honda!! thanks alot man. oh and another thing where could i pick up an owners manual?

 

yes, P is a very smart person he knows his stuff

You can probably find an owner manual in good shape on eBay for a decent price.

 

well i went and had a look at the block and i cant find the face plate. will have another look, but I did find a plate on the hood, it didnt really have any info that i didnt already know except one thing did puzzle me. I said under engine type C87E. does that meen anythin to anyone?

oh and ps with the trial membership of the forum why are you restricted to only 5 posts a day. i was pissed off when i went to post and i read that.

 

It's not a "Plate" as such. It's no more than a flat machined surface (as opposed to a cast surface) and some poor flunky has the job at the engine assembly plant of standing there stamping blocks. (for $24./an hour USD or $27.69 Canadian )

The C87E designator doesn't come up on anything I can reference, but rest assured, if it's the original engine - it's the A20A4

Although most of us here aren't slouches either.
Actually you're quite lucky; most other forums would edit out you're reference to that other site - and lock out your ip address
