[4wslude]

i have a swap and im looking up parts and need to know the year and my vin plate is missing on motor and tranny can you look up it up from the serial number or do i need to call honda with the serial number and get a vin then look it up that way i know its a 1999 or 2000 motor but need to know which one

Does the year make a difference?

for the kit im buy to rebuild my motor it does because of different bearings and thrust washers i think i just the know the website im ordering it from just wants to know the year

[Bacon]

What kind of swap is it?

[4wslude]

a b16a2 swap from a 1999 or 2000 civic si thats all i know

[4wslude]

this is what it says below what all comes with the kit

Please specify engine code and year of engine when ordering.
B16 bearings change depending on year and if it is a B16A or B16a2.

Honestly, I don't think there is gonna be much of a difference between '99 and '00 B16A2s. You may be able to look on the head and see if a year stamp is on it :dunno:
