Motor Year
 

i have a 1g motor in my 2g but how do i make sure or tell what year it is? the head is off and the block is out, any special markings to look for?

how many bolts hold on the flywheel?

didnt count them, how do i tell by that?

6 bolts or 7 bolts. -insert random smiley here-

if you have a 1g motor in there, its a 6 bolt, is there any reason you need to know the exact yr the motor was made?

Means just that it's most likely a 6-bolt. Why couldn't it be a 7 bolt? My questions to the original poster:

1. Why do you want to/need to know?

2. If you really want to know at least approximately the year, as someone mentioned before count the bolts - 6 bolts = prior to April 1992, 7 bolts = April 1992 or later. (correct me if April is wrong maybe it's March; too lazy to search now).

its a 6 bolt, the reason i asked was cause i sent the head and bottom end off and they wanted to know the year, it had spun a main bearing...

I thought the cut off was May-June.

im sure they snuck in a couple 7's here and there though.
