Thanks for all the helpful info, I went back to the mechanic and mentioned that the B230F is a non-interference engine but he said that he checked the engine pressure(?) and got a reading of 30(?), according to him, this is the equivalent of a lawnmower. As for the old engine, I was a little too late because it's already gone (to where, I don't know). The new engine runs fabulously but I'm not sure if it is the year he claims it to be (1992). The lower half of the engine is red (different from the original B230F) and the number on the timing belt cover on the front of the engine is: 1289092. Not sure if this helps to identifythe year. The flame trap is located under the intake manifold; I thought that from '89-'93, the flame trap was relocated to the top of the manifold?
