how/where can i get the information on the type of engine install in my car? is there any information located at the vehicle itself?

QUESTION: Engine no: G4ED3-300338

this is the only i.d. i could get from the car.
i hope it can help.

Answer
This is enough for me to determine the engine.  You have the 1.6L Alpha engine.  I've seen some instances on this engine where the PCV hose gets a hole in it, causing the engine to have an unstable idle speed.  

I still have in the back of my mind that if it was running okay before the head was milled, that it should still be running okay now unless it was overheated again to the point that the cylinder head was damaged.
