[djrenok]

I have a 1993 civic, but has a swap. Im not sure what type of motor it is, cuz I just bought it and the kid who owned it before me did this work. Where can I find the engine serial # or how can I find out what this engine is???? Much help would be appreciated

so what engine was it?

can green91 make it anymore clear than he did???
its a square section of the block(prob 1.5"x2 or more inches wide) located on the lower left hand side of the motor, right next to where the engine and transmission bolt together. itll either say something like b15, b16b, b18c and so on (or it might even say h22a, or d16). under the engine code you should be able to find the serial number there.

 

[djrenok]

so the serial # is S20-2382016 and i couldnt find where it said B16

 

[djrenok]

i got the serial # but couldnt find where it had other numbers......where can i get the right code? or is it possible to use the serial and get the specifics that way?????

 

[toneekay]

dude most of every honda block has the motor type engraved on it. are you sure your looking at the right spot?

 

[djrenok]

yeah i looked for a good 15 mins i found the barcode with the serial # below it and could not find the engine code like u were saying. Ill look again, but i cant find ne thing

 

[toneekay]

take a pic of the motor?

 

[EG Hatch]

is your motor dirty? if so take a tooth brush to the little block if you know where it is. it is pretty much where your transmission connects to your engine.

well look at this link, she has hers painted purple. its that block. it might not say h23a1 but i think you get the idea

[toneekay]

she has a pretty baddass build.. she dont look that bad herself

 

[MrRide2Low]

s20 is the tranny code for a D series tranny

 

[djrenok]

so do i have a D series motor, or should i look deeper for the code

 

[si-hatch86]

i dont know if this could explain where to find the engine code any better than green's post but worth a shot.
also is it a dual cam or single cam?

 

[Steven.]

you looked at the wrong place.
the block might be dirty

tranny code could be in a different location. but engine code is always in the same spot
