On the front engine pad on the pass side you'll see a number that looks something like A145 the letter (A in this case) is the month of the year, the 2nd set of numbers is the day of the month (14th day in this case) and the last number is the year (5 for '05 in this case). Get me those numbers and I will decipher your block for you

It's the flat area right if you were looking down at your motor right between you and the cyl head. Sometimes the paint is rusty here and you have to swab some motor oil over the letters and numbers so you can read them.

Quickest way to tell if you have a LQ4 or LQ9 is to pull a spark plug and take a straight blade screwdriver and VERY GENTLY touch it against the cyl wall of the block and gently push down and draig it across the top of the piston. If you feel it sink down it's an LQ4, if it stays flat and smooth it's a LQ9
