How to Check Engine Model Number from Engine Number?

[JadeRose]

You can find out the engine model number by checking the engine number. The vehicle's nameplate displays specific information about the car, such as the chassis number (vehicle frame number), engine number, vehicle weight, model, and other basic details. The engine number is also marked on the engine block—note that it is not on the cylinder head but on the lower block. Therefore, with the engine number, you can directly look up the engine model. Composition of Engine Model Number: Prefix: Includes product series code, generation symbol, and regional/enterprise code. Manufacturers may choose appropriate letters as needed, but these must be approved and filed by the industry standardization authority. Middle Section: Consists of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, stroke, and cylinder diameter. Suffix: Distinguishing symbol. For differentiating products within the same series due to improvements or other reasons, manufacturers may select appropriate symbols. The suffix can be separated from the middle section using a "-". The engine model number is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with regulations, industry practices, or the engine's attributes to a batch of identical products. It represents information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and production batch—including fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and brake power.
