is there any way what so ever to tell the difference between the two motors by a physical appearance? I want to double check my engine is a lq9 because i just saw the same pictures and Video of my engine on ebay saying it was an lq4 :)

depends on what it was in.... a Vin number would help... Most Lq9s are in Caddys,Yukons, high end SUVs and such.... lq4 is a pulling/truck engine...
i don't have a vin or anything. what about the pistons? arn't they suppose to be flat tops or somethingQuote:

Since you'll have the head off, check for flat tops, it'll be obvious, post a pic too.

yea i am hoping so.. he wouldn't tell me why he posted up my pictures and video as a lq4 but he said that he gave me a lq9. he wont give me a shipping number on that head, but he keeps saying it will be here today. we will see:tantrum:Quote:

get off the puter and start pulling the head, Man! we want to know what the story is! I know its Thursday but the engine doesn't it know it, it's just a dumb machine. :laugh:
