Hi, I have a jdm engine and would like to buy a manual for it and I was wondering if there is any way to tell the year of the engine from the serial number or some other way....thanks

you can decode the vin. number. that number is on the engine right? theres a website that has what all the letters and numbers mean someone has to have it on here. i know they do. i just dont know what it is.

one more thing....i dont know about the vin number thing cause isnt that an usdm only thing....I am not sure though and since this is a jdm motor i dont think they have vin numbers...correct me if im wrong, but maybe the engine serial number has something in it.thanks todd

i believe that vin numbers are everywhere. not just the US. but i could very well be wrong.

jap VIN numbers and plates are totally dif from the US much shorter I remember seeing a JDM VIN numer plate on ebay for like $20 and it had Koji symbols and numbers in it not letters and numbers and it was much shorter

To figure the year of your engine, simply look on the front of the head above the flange for the exhaust manifold. there will be a series of stamps. in one the of the stamps you will see what looks like a fractional number. The top number is the month, and lower number is the year. for example: 9/93 would be sept 93. pretty easy. It is located inside of circle.
