Engine...
Is there somewhere on your engine that it is stamped, marked, chiselled, engraved...whatever... the actual model of the engine?
I believe that my enginve is a D15B1 SOHC but I'm not sure...is there a physical marking on it that tells you?
I know this is probably a dumb question but...bare with me...

Left of the manifold, on the edge that the transaxle bolts to. Just follow down the side of the engine until you see a rectangular flat spot, and wipe it off. The engine code, the block serial number, and "HM" should be stamped there. Sometimes it is really faint, but it should be there.

I think I found it...but there is a whole bunch of thick sludgy greasy crap on there ...I have to do an engine clean soon...so hopefully I should be able to get to it. What I scraped off didn't reveal anything...
there was a 'sticker' right beside that flat spot that started with an "L3" and then a bunch of numbers...what do you suppose that was?
What's "HM" by the way...sorry if that's a stupid question.

yah a good amount of degreaser was necessary to find it on a few of the engines i had that had valve cover gasket leaks which had laid down years of grime, but it was there sure enough after about a half pound of black oil and dirt, ive had complete spider webs around my transmission even after driving the car for 3 months that never got cleaned off with the radiator fan blowing so.... its good to get in there and clean up every so often
