Question
I have aquired a 1.9 litre Ford engine. I am trying find out the year of the engine. The # on the engine183435805 and 064132DA and 0G482DA . The valve cover has 1.9 S.E.F.I

Answer
Hi Jeff,

Not sure where those block numbers came from but they are of no help to me. However, Ford only used the 1.9L engines from '86 thru '96 in the Escorts, Tracers, Lynx and EXP's. '86 engines were either carbureted or Throttle body injected, which is NOT SEFI. '87 started the MFI editions, which should have the SEFI valve cover and that edition runs from '87 thru '90 and the second generation 1.9L, also could have used the SEFI valve covers, was use between '91 and '96 when they discontinued it in favor of the 2.0L.

Hope that helps you in your quest. An engine family tag would be better, or a VIN.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
