Hey all.

I have been looking for the engine id number for my 97 Legacy.

I only see two number (sets) so far.

Both are on the driver side top of the engine.

right in front of where the starter bolts on,

there's the number:

TZ102ZACAA-DR, with the number 104533 slightly behind that.

 

Toward the front of the engine, right behind the A/C pump,

is the number 73110AC030, and the number 404020-0501

next to that number.

Can anyone let me know if they look like engine numbers?

Or give me an example of a number so I know what to look for?

I have a pic of where it's supposed to be in a Haynes book but

for the life of me I can't see how that looks like my engine.

'97

there should be an aluminum id tag on the driver side front strut housing under the hood. it will have all sorts of information on including engine #, trans #, and trim, color, etc.

 

your traans number is the TZ102ZACAA number , your car is a 97 2.2L legacy.

the engine number will start with EJ22.... and have some alphabet soup after that.

right on..... EJ22.....

Yeah, I don't know why I've been so stupid.

I'm just going to take it into the nearby dealer--

Mcree in Dickinson and ask them about the version of the engine.

they've been really helpful so far.

Dumb. Dumb. Dung--headd!!

(Gotta find the path again anyways down to spring break in Galveston.)
