Not really the most you can tell is if it comes with an intake manifold and tha fuel rail is return less then its at least an 04 and up and if you take the head bolts off and there 2 diffrent sizes the again its 04 and up if the head bolts are 3 diffrent sizes its 03 and down !

 

its got to be 80K miles... cause 80 kilometers is like like 50 miles...
But still not a bad price.

 

^^^^ I think you rite I just re read it ! For some reason I was thinking kilometers and thought maybe he was from canada ! My bad !

 

He is from Canada... I may be wrong, maybe he did mean 80 km. IDK...

 

yeah 80000km like 50000 miles.

 

The vehicle identification number (VIN) is located on the left side rear of the engine block (1) and is typically a 9 digit number stamped or laser-etched onto the engine at the vehicle assembly plant.

• The first digit identifies the division.
• The second digit identifies the model year.
• The third digit identifies the assembly plant.
• The fourth through ninth digits are the last 6 digits of the VIN.

 

i got another question apparentlly 99 to 01 02 lq4 have a spacer on crank. an 05 should be flush right if anybody has pic of this that would be nice. so i dont get fooled. thanks again for help.

 

Actually the '99/'00 cranks don't have a spacer installed and instead have a crankshaft that has 1.250˝ wide rear flange vs the typical 857˝ narrow rear flange. This was to work with transmissions such as the 4L80E, whereas the '01 and up models used a spacer to accomplish the same thing, without the need for multiple crankshafts.

 

so if it has the removavle spacer it an 02 up the one i want. and if its as thik as the first pic on right that the old style 99 00.

 

this is what i had been thinking myself. thanks for backing up my reasoning! to the op, 800 bucks for a 50k mi lq4 sounds sweet. id pull the trigger on that for sure!
