Take the vins to the police. If they let you keep it than its legit

cops cant run the numbers on the engine. my friend got caught street racing and they tried to rn his engine but they couldnt, and even some of my friends that got their engine's bar'd, they didnt even check to see if it was stolen or not

Re: what do i need to proof the engine isn't hot!!!!
 

dont get caught.
problem solved.

Why would you need to prove your engine is legit. Its up to the authority to prove its not. This is the USA you know, innocent until proven guilty.

Even if your motor is stolen, the only way they could check that is if the original car that it came in was ever stolen. Someone could sell you thier motor, and 2 years later their car gets stolen with a different motor in it. Your motor is now looked at as stolen.

I had a friend this happened to. He ended up getting the motor back from the cops. I guess it just wasn't something they could prove, but they did take it (it was on the floor at his shop)

Just by you asking about it leads me to believe it's probably stolen, you know it, and you want to cover your ass.

If it were completely legit why would that thought even enter into your mind???

I just bought an engine last week and I never even thought twice about whether it were stolen or not. The thought never even entered into my head.

If you are so sure it's legit, then you have nothing to worry about, right?

Where do you find the numbers on a Honda motor??
Mine just says ZC ???

Re: what do i need to proof the engine isn't hot!!!!
 

You say that now but when someone steals your stuff who are you gonna go cryin' to?

Re: what do i need to proof the engine isn't hot!!!!
 

when is the last time the cops have asked you if your motor was stolen I've never heard of anyone ever being questioned about that ever

Re: what do i need to proof the engine isn't hot!!!!
 

I actually have a B16 tranny that has no serial plate on it, so I assume it was stolen at one time. The guy I got it from is a good friend and I know he didn't steal it. He bought locally attached to an LS motor swap that he checked the paperwork on and all, but he's not so bright about noticing the attached tranny wasn't an LS and didn't have a serial plate.

Then I told myself, well, I didn't steal it, my friend didn't steal it, I don't know who the wronged owner was or is, and when it comes down to it, it's still a B16 tranny that someone has to use. 8)

Re: what do i need to proof the engine isn't hot!!!!
 

heh.. i looked at my old engine the other day.. it says " 0 0" :-X wtf?

Re: what do i need to proof the engine isn't hot!!!!
 

Just don't sell the car to such a big ----- and you'll have no problem

Re: what do i need to proof the engine isn't hot!!!!
 

If you have the title with your name on it and the motor matched the car, then you are legit.

Otherwise, just find someone who isn't a -----.

All day every day here. We have autocrime going around in pimped out navigators checking VIN's for engine's tranny's and fenders(front end conversions).

Cops literally block in parking lots, tell people to pop their hoods and walk around checking VIN's. I was never checked adn I doubt they could because of all the dirty and grease on my VIN and also i have an old engine. Lastly the it's nearly impossible to see the VIN in my car unless I take the bumper and FMIC off.
