Is there any way of identifying if an engine in a car is the original engine that the car was manufactored with? I have a 95 Neon, which is suppost to have 370,000kms on it. I know that the owner before me messed with it a bit as the gauge cluster was swapped and sold as if it has 134,000kms on the car. Now since I have done some minor work on the car, (changed front wheel bearings, plugs, intake and oil) I have noticed that the car has a great amount of power for a old engine with alot of millage on it. The engine is the 2.0l single over head cam. Is there any way of locating identification numbers on the car, engine and so on, and identify if they where part of the origial package?
