A friend sent me a picture of his engine. I cropped this block code to try and make heads or tails of it...

Looks like it to me too. Do a rubbing of the plate, you can see faint lines better then.

its a H23a3 dude, looks like its the 2.3L DOHC Non-vtec because h23a2 is the euro R motor.

man thats hard to tell, from that pic it looks like F23, but in the first pic when I magnified it, looked like a h23, the valve cover doesn't help either because I can't see it.

F23a3, from the looks of the block code and exhaust manifold...

yeh pic of the valve cover would probably solve the mystery now that its narrowed down to 2 motors

It's an h23a3, the old euro version of the h23a1 here in the states.

Notice how the block is notched to use a timing light on the flywheel. I'm 99% sure that no f23's have that, as there all obdII, and use a pointer thing and marks on the crank pulley instead.

Also, here's more pics:

H23A2 is not the euro R engine.. It is the jap/european H23 exactly like our H23A1. The Euro R engine is just the H22A (some call it the H22A7). The H23A DOHC VTEC engine comes in the Accord SiR-T Wagon. No Euro R model has come with a H23A2.

I was going to to say its a h23 but I kept scrolling and say that you posted the car it was in already.
