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.
thanks allen, thats what i thought. ill post a pic when i get the head off. i have a feeling im going to be pulling this motor an trans and throwing it in oscars faceQuote:

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:

That sucks bud I feel for you I know you been waiting for that thing to be done for a wile. I hope he comes thew for you if not we should all put a price on his head.
Rick---any news on the bad head????
