This is going to sound like a dumb question but how do you know what "type" of engine you have ? Ihear people saying they have H22's and F23A1's, and all. Im wondering how i know what type i have ?

 

It should be stamped on your engine block. Yours should be an F23A1, I do believe.

 

Yes VtecHef, your engine is a F23A1. Same kind of accord I have, 99 accord EX 4-cylinder V-tec.

 

what about if you have a 98 accord how do i know what kind of engine i have

 

98 also has the f23a, unless it's the Accord Euro R, then its an h22a7

 

all above post are right. if you have an i4 from 98-02, then you have a f23a1 or f23a2 depending on the year. the v6 models have a j30a1 which has a crappy tranny. and the h22 is from a prelude. it's pretty easy to recognize the different types of engine after awhile.

 

i know on my 91, it has a sticker on the timing belt cover.

 

all of the blocks have the "nomeclature" stamped on the side of them on a little flat looking plate.... if your motor is anything like mine it's probably coverd in gunk but if you wipe it off you'll see it just fine...
