this is my b16a engine. on the block it says b16a with 5403879. This thread says it is this - 1992- 170hp 5th and 6th gen SiR, SiRII and CRX delsol SiR. Is this thread correct. here is the link. it also has a Y21 tranny.

Dude, ur a savior. What's the engine serial for.

 

How do you tell if it had LSD? Where do u look?

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But from what I've been told - it is the identity of your block. Its own vin if you will. If you call Honda and tell them your block ID, they can tell you the vin of the car it should be in. This is how officers find if a motor is stolen or not.
