Decode engine numbers.

Can anybody tell me what year my engine is from the engine numbers? Got told it was 2006 when i purchased the car but didnt think 06's had silver crank cases?

 

From what I found elsewhere.
0XXXXXX for '04, 1XXXXXX for '05 and 2XXXXXX for '06
So yeah, you have a '06 bike, not car

 

But its in a car

 

Do 2006 bikes have silver crank cases?

Ok, but the engine is from a bike, correct? And the engine code reads it's from a 2006 engine code. Can't help with the colours as from what I understand there were various colours depending on where the bike came from.
It might have also been dropped on its side or involved in a crash, then had the cover replaced? Too many maybes, but you do have a 2006 engine.

 

Cool, thank you for the help.

 

2004

 

That accords with my 2004 which is: SC57E 2025***.

For what it's worth, there were some significant upgrades with the 2006 - 7 motors.
