    What kind of motor do I have

    I am wondering on how to tell what motor I have. You know like a20a or a20b or what.I was wondering cause I went to get a valve cover gasket and the auto parts store asked me and I would like to find out too. Thanks guys.

    You have an A20a3. But I'm sure that the valve cover gaskets are the same for the EFI and carbed 3gs.

    he's in texas... so most likely unless he jumped the border a20a3. I have both the a1 and the a3 gaskets here and they seem to be exactly the same....but i haven't tried.

    Same question as before, but i can't find the A20A on my engine, but i did find something and it says BT1 and some other numbers under it. Am I looking in the wrong place or something???
