Engine Identification
#1
![Question](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I have a 1990 miata that supposedly has the 1.8L in it.This might be a stupid question, but I have looked for the engine identification numbers everywhere, and can't figure out if its true. I'm pretty new to the Miata, former Honda lover. At least Hondas engine ID #s are right there on the tranny...

raised (cast) identification is at the back side of the head
easy way to identify is look at valve cover. raised letters = 1.8 sunken letters = 1.6
there are other differences, but imo that's easiest.
