I purchased a 1995 Honda Accord. The VIN and car title indicate a 4 cylinder engine. The car has a V-6 engine. Can anyone tell me where to locate the VIN on the engine so I can order parts?

 

There should be a 4-5 digit engine code found on a flat spot on the side of the engine block (front of car). close to the transmission.

You will probably see one of the following;
C27A*
C32A*
C35A*
J30A*
J35A*

* = 1-2-3-etc.... if there is no 5th digit it is an engine that has been imported from Japan.


V6 into a I4 chassis is quite a bit of work.......

 

If you can post up a picture of the engine it may result in a quicker verification by someone here.

 

I'm curious as well. Is the Vin on the dash the same as the one on the firewall?
The CD chassis cars with a V6 actually had a longer nose to accommodate the C27 90* V6. It was that much bigger.

 

Ok....I found the following engine code: C27A4-1207255

So, the next question is: How do determine what year and what model car this came from in order to order parts. Suggestions?

 

Never mind.....I found it!! 2.7L V6......

Since the car is with family, I will have someone cross check the title with the VIN on the car. I suspect I have the wrong title. I have looked around that engine....it looks like the factory install.

 

What are the 4th 5th and 6th digits of the VIN tag that is riveted to the dash? (visable from the outside on the drivers side) These digits will tell you what engine should be in the chassis.

CE6 = C27A4 V6
CD5 = F22B1 - F22B2 Sedan
CD7 = F22B1 - F22B2 Coupe
CE1 = F22B1 -F22B2 Wagon
