When was your motor built...

Just thought of this today and thought it would be a neat thread.

What is the manufacture date on your motor, and how many miles are on it. I would like to see who has the earliest produced motor and the latest. Not 100% sure if it's the Day/Month/Year, or Month/Day/Year on the engine ID tag.

So I'll start.

My motor was produced 11/08/88 (Nov 08/1988) or (Aug 11/1988) and it currently has 162,200 miles on it.

I think a 30 day lead time is about right.
