Block and heads identification

[scoob]

Hey guys,

Been trolling the internet trying to gather information on properly identifying my block and heads.

I have found two codes on the block where it means the trans. First is split over where the two halves join and is 454432454059

The second is 613647 and that is located on the right had side of where the block meets the trans (if you are standing at the front of the motor).

Also how do you reliably identify the heads? It says 4cam 16 valve on the covers which i believe means they are not the original..

I fear the engine has been swapped on me and not even an STI. I only checked the chassis plate on the car and not the actual engine before I sent it off to be built and fear I have just wasted a **** load of money..

Motor is supposed to be EJ20K out of a V4 Type R

This is what I have found so far.

2. Bucket-style HLA EJ20G usage[edit]

Impreza WRX 92~96.

Impreza WRX Wagon 92~96

Impreza WRX STI 93~96

EUDM Subaru Impreza Turbo 94~96

Power output ranges from 220 PS @ 6000 rpm and 260 Nm for the WRX Wagons to 275 PS @ 6500 rpm and 319 Nm for the WRX STI Version II. Engines can be identified by coil on plug with 1 M8 bolt per coil and valve covers with 4CAM 16VALVE and horizontal lines above the plug holes. Generally these engines all have the slanted intercooler. Some engines may not have HLA buckets but solid buckets with shims underneath. These engines also feature lighter valves, the intake valves are marked INKO and the exhaust valves are marked EXKO. The standard HLA valves are I252 and E283 respectively. All WRX Wagon engines and automatic sedan engines came with a TD04 with 90 deg elbow, all manual WRX sedans including STI versions had a TD05

Oil cap also says '96

i would be asking your engine builder if it had hydraulic lifters or shim under, and also if it was open deck or not. looks like an early wrx engine to me, maybe ra, which could mean it has a closed deck block. but yea your engine builder should know those answers from assembeling it

I do know the block is open deck but I'll contact him and find out the rest. Hopefully all is not lost..
