checking engine number on my civic

[rnbguy]

hey fellas,

strange thing is i bought an ek, but the engine number on rego papers doesnt match rta record, ive been advised to check engine number in the car, where can i expect to find it?

Its stamped at the front-left of the engine near the gearbox under the distributor. You may need to clean away the grease/oil to read it.

Picture coutesy of qikteg

any pics? excuse me if this sounds dum but distributor?

Just to the left of the exhaust manifold
You will see two lines of writing

First will read "B16A2" or whatever engine you have
Second line will rear "3002343223" or whatever your engine number is

You need the second line
