Vin# on the motor??
Ok I know on Honda's it tells you what type of motor you have on the block in the front under the headers, so the question is where is it located on a 13b?? And do the 13b motors have vin# on them & where are they located??

13B is stamped on the top driver's side of each rotor housing, you can see it above the spark plugs embossed into the housings. this engine identification is also located on the top of the upper intake manifold on non turbo models and labeled on the intercooler on turbo models.
as far as i know none of the Aspec motors have VIN numbers on their engines.

all the original factory installed motors have an engine number stamped on the front iron kind of under the alternator. it doesnt correspond to the vin number though.

What he said ..........................see the 1987 Factory Service Manual, Section G, page G-9. Don't have a 87? Get one. humor
MOTOR number, not VIN on the engine
See this site http://www.mazdaformance.com/rx7parts.htm for a breakdown on what your VIN number stands for and other trivia. Go to the engine section and read the first few pages. It breaks down he VIN and other trivia. I'm sure the chassis section does the same thing.

Did you check the OMP(oil metering pump), does it have an electrical connector. Does the engine have a plastic thermostat housing/filler neck. If so, then the engine is an S5, 1989-91.
