anyway to tell

Featured Replies

Is their anyway to tell what year model a 2.2 engine is when it is not in a car? It does have some numbers on engine but I dont know if they mean anything.

You want me to go back out and write them down? It's tough to get help around here without having to do something, I will be back with the numbers in a bit.

The engines from 90-94 look a certain way and then the 95-99 look a little difference from those - it's hard to explain. The serial number will tell all though.

Yes they do look a little different like that plate covering the throttle body, and the cover over the ac and power steering.

If it has 2 exhaust ports per head, its an early 95 or older, if its got the single ports it is newer, and is an interferance valve design.

Other than the EZ22 I found these numbers 516418518731 this is by the block where the bar from transmission bolts on. 642976 is on the back right side of block and 3419 is under the power steering tank.

Yea it's EJ I was not paying attention to what I was typing. I did double check the other numbers.

now slow down just a minute. yes the 95 is dual port exhaust, and yes single port exhaust is newer..... but the 96 is single port an non-interference. so not ALL single ports are interference. right? right ? come on somebody say right.

Maybe NoahDL88 is thinking about the year it was made and not the model year, because my 97 was manufactered in 96 but it is interference.
