* Check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): The VIN contains coded information about your car, including the engine. You can usually find the VIN on the driver's side dashboard, visible through the windshield. You can then use a VIN decoder (many are available online) to get detailed specs.
* Look at the Engine Bay: The engine size is often stamped directly onto a metal plate or sticker somewhere in the engine bay. This plate usually gives other vital information about the engine as well. Look carefully around the engine itself and near any attached components.
* Check your Vehicle's Documents: Your owner's manual or registration papers should clearly state the engine size and other specifications.
* Check the Title: Your car's title will list the engine size.
For a 1992 Honda Prelude, you'll likely find either a 1.8L or a 2.0L engine. The 2.0L engine was usually only available on higher trims. The location of the engine size information will be consistent across all models regardless of engine displacement.
