    hmmm 1.8litre and 2.0 engines

    Hey,
    i just got 2 engines, one is a FI 2.0, but the other the guy said was a 1.8, but this thing looks EXACTLY like my '89 LX's 2.0, what can i look for to see if it is a 1.8 or 2.0? becuase i visual see no differences.

    the number is stamped right next to the exhaust manifold on the left side. I'll see if i can find a picture of where it is. its in the same place on all hondas. Sometimes it gets covered in gunk so you might have to scrap some crap off before you can see what it is.

    the a18 is a prelude motor and will not bolt in to the accord if im not mistaken.

    the BS engine was *i think* an se-i motor. I'm pretty sure it was a 3g engine which is 2.0

    BS is a 1986 A20A1 from an '86 Accord DX or LX, same 2.0L as all carb'd 3geez have, just different serial numbering
