How does he check the age of his engine?

Assuming youre talking about for SVA purposes, there is one of two ways;
Check the engine number against those printed in the Haynes maintenance manual, or ring Honda UK for a precise date.
Also, if the number 893 is stamped on the block, there's a good chance it'll be pre 1995. Any other number is most likely post 1995.

Have a look on the clutch cover side, the engine size will be stamped on a flat, 893cc anything larger will be to new I suspect, these lumps carry a
premium because of this.

Thanks Chaps!!!

Most testers will accept the Fireblade Haynes book of lies as the truth!!! Amusing really.
Otherwise blow £30 at Honda UK.
That's ok if you have an engine from 1994 or older but if you have a 1995 engine, you'll need a letter from Honda confirming the exact date.
The blade engine we originally fitted was dated 9th July 1995 so just scraped into the lower emissions test for SVA.
