Identifying year of B18c
I will be getting my B18C (JDM ITR - Motor/Trans/ECU) tomorrow morning from HMO and I was just wondering if there was an easy way to tell what year it came out of. I have the understanding that it will be a '97, but just want to confirm this

Look on the head, right above the very left exhaust port above teh header, the is a little cirle with a line through it and a number on one side and a number on the other, like (9/7) kinda but its a whoel circle, thats hwta year the ehad was made so if it says 95 is was probably made in 94 or maybe 95... my 95 motor says 95

Re: Identifying year of B18c (nolimits)
Someone said that the first digit of the serial# is the model year for the engine series. For example my '95 GS-R is B18C1-2nnnnnn meaning '95 is the 2nd year that B18C1 was available. My '98 Accord says F23A1-1nnnnnnn because '98 was the first year for that engine.
Was '94 the first year for JDM B18C engines? If so, then a '97 should be B18C-4nnnnnnn. Or maybe that system only works for USDM??
