I'm was going to buy an engine from a person that has a y8 in his hatch. I know the 99-00 civic has a vin# on the motor just like one on the dash of the car. Is there any engine vin# on a 96-98 ej8? All I see is 7 number under the engine code. I need the vin# so I can use carfax to see the mileage of the car. thanks

 

I think that serial number under the code is the only one on it.

 

Check the back of the motor, drivers side, just above where the block meets the oil pan.

 

thanks for the info.
