The vin stamped on my motor is different than the vin for my car? Is it supposed to be like that? Or is it a newer motor?

 

I just looked on my Mom's Honda Odyssey and the Engine stamp didn't match her vin either. We are the original owners of that car and the Engine has never been replaced.

Looks like my CL's Engine is original. I wonder why Engine codes don't match vins on these cars?

 

my dash, engine, chassis and trans all have different vins

 

^lol not helping.

 

that's a really good question... I never did check to see if they all matched up.

got me curious now

 

My vin matches my engine. But my trans doesnt. TL swapped.

 

Never checked. Never cared

 

+1

 

are you sure you're looking at the correct numbers?

 

Where did you look?

 

Really don't matter too much.
It's not a collectors car,atleast not yet.
Would be a nice tid bit of knowledge knowing thou.

 

for the engine, its on the left side near the timing belt cover, its on a white sticker. Its also stamped on the engine block below the EGR I think.

the trans vin is stamped on a green plate below the starter, behind one of the radiator fans. Its wayyy down there though, towards the bottom of the car.

 

Thanks too assclown in another thread, it has been solved:



This is where the REAL engine vin is, and YES mine matches my car thankfully.

 

Incorrect, those numbers have nothing to do with a vin

 

Bet thats a weight off

 

what's that?

 

That you have a original engine,and did not have 1 swaped in that you did not know about.
Because the 55k would've been pointless then.
It would've change your cars worth.

 

those must be the engine's serial numbers then. Its been a while since i've glanced at them. I think you can call acura or something and they can tell you what your engine number is supposed to be and you can match that up to whats on the engine.

 

I know man, i would have been pissed

 

They should.

 

u were probably reading the engine serial number.

 

 

hey jacob was my post in the sd section what got you looking into this?
