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 somethingOriginally Posted by casey23
pull a plug, and look inside, flatops are what your looking for to be LQ9

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 face
Because Oscar has been so back-and-forth on this whole thing, it can be assumed that he would be the type to say you bought a LQ9 but then ship you an LQ4... But I think that he actually did stay good on his promise that it is an LQ9.

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
same block, the heads are the same. The pistons and rod are beefier and the piston is different on the top. I want to say flat top vs a slight dish.
