I just got an s13 redtop front clip, Compression was about 160 in every cylinder. There was no gauge cluster or vin or anything.

Is there any way to tell what year it is?

thanks

Actually, the last gen. of redtop motors has those little 'cooling fin' looking things on the front of the motor just under the valve cover. The S13 blacktops have them, if you know where one is you can look at. If it doesn't have the fins, then it's a very early redtop.

It does have the cooling fins. The guy who sold me the motor said the same thing but I thought maybe it was BS.

So I got a 93 :ylsuper
