How to tell 88 & 89 apart??
How can i tell a 88 TII engine and an 89 + engine apart from the outside?? They have a casting number on the engine, but what numbers are for what engines?? Does anyone know how to tell?? Any ideas would help.
Thanks,

I know at the bottom of the rotor housings there is a letter and that symbolizes the year of rx7 the motor came out of. Call Ari at www.rx7.com and he can tell you, he is the one that told me but i forgot what they were

i remember something about a stamp on the housing telling what year, and if it was rebuilt by mazda.
other things, if 86-88 has black door guards 89-91 has same color as car door ding guards, tailights, bologna wheels, retractable seatbelts.
