Just came in from NipponMotors! I can't believe how clean it is looks like new! Anyone know if these blocks are date-coded? I'm curious what year it actually is. What a steal for $450!
yeah i cant either i also went with the act clutch and the indigo alum flywheel also and i believe altimat from altimas forum is going to be helping me so yeah i cant wait either

Actually, it wasn't my question. You can tell (roughly) what year engine you got by looking at your valve cover. '90~'94 (talking about JDM) SR20DE came with "Painted" valve cover. They are painted Silver, but first generation motors (90-92) came with Silver valve cover with black painted spark plug wire area. Newer engines came with unpainted valve cover. (some 94 and 95~up)
Some 94 motor didn't come with painted VC. IF you have the valve cover which is not painted at all, (bare aluminum), you have the newer 95 and newer engine. If you are not clear about this, post a pic.
i noticed that the old motor that came with the car 91 has black painted where the spark plug wires are and the newer one (jdm) is painted silver but no black so what year you think
thanks
where can i find some headers for the jdm motor any ideas
the old motor had pipes running to the headers the jdm doesnt nor does it have the sensor on the bottom
thanks

***** Sounds great. How much/how far was the shipping? How many miles [approx] are supposed to be on these engines? I am rebuilding my SR20DE, and the parts alone will be more than $450. Thanks
well the total bill was 615 with the motor cost of 450 and the shipping 165 it was shipped from hawthorne california ah i believe theres about 35-40 thousand on the motors so it doesnt seem like a bad deal

***** That's a great deal. Especially the shipping! Only $165 from CA to WI? Can't believe it! Thanks for the link.
