I was just dinking around on ebay and saw this picture. Says V6 on the cam gear cover (i'm not retarded and know it's an I-6). Mine doesn't say that. Anyone else?

Hope this isn't a repost (probably is though with my luck). If it is, please delete it.

Not to be confused with engine configuration.

Some cam covers say different thinks. Mine has E5 on it, I think.

I don't know what they're for though.

ps, wow that motor is BEAT, i hope its not more then like $500 bux

Engine's get a little dirty on their trek over here from Japan, you know.

A little soap and water never hurt anything

How can you tell how 'beat' the engine is by looking at one low quality/fuzzy picture?

Joe, you would think they would skip the V6 and so on. I think mine says E something. Don't remember though.

If anyone knew what the stickers were for, it might help us understand why they used V6. Until then, your guess is just as good as mine. I've only noticed that not all the engines have the same sticker.

because hoses are cut, not taken off. Openings are not taped off so little creatures dont make home, alot of rust and corrosion.

That motor would require a total rebuild if i were to ever put that in a car. Or for $1200 from JHOT you can get one that looks beautiful :)

You can't deduce all of that by looking at a single picture.

You think Jhot's motors come off the boat looking all nice and pretty?

The point is, don't be so quick to judge how good or bad the engine is from one picture. You haven't seen it in person. That engine could be washed it, comp tested and be ready to rock for all you know.

My motor looked like junk when it was in the video Jarco sent me of it running in Japan. Then when it came it looked nice because they cleaned it up after shipping. Anyways mine says E1 on it and would also like to know what this means.

Mine says Yamaha.:dunno:

There's a little sticker on the right side below "Yamaha" that has an alphanumeric on it.

If you don't have one, then it just came off at some point. I think 1 out of my 3 1Js didn't have the sticker anymore as well.
