14102xxx is early 91 build, might also have date markers on the cam covers if you look down the oil fill.

Nice one mate thanks for the info do u know if my car will need a cat for its mot?

Thats an early engine and yes thats the date. Early engines ran up to engine number 14142838.

Its my first one ive had and been reading up on things and trying to figure out what year it come out of as its in my corsa c

Oh, I wasn't aware of that date with mine tbh. Makes sense to be, but not certain

I have that number c20xe 14102182 but cant match it up with anything mate it has 16-05-91 stamped on the front left just above the sump on the block

Engine number is where box meets the block, sure that isn't what you're looking at?

Hi can any one help me the date stamped just above the sump on the exhaust side is that the date of my c20xe ?thanks
