2016-2022 Buick Encore 1.4L Turbo 4-Cylinder Engine Motor VIN M 8th digit LE2

What this engine is

• Engine: GM 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder
• Engine code: LE2
• VIN: M, 8th digit
• Type: New long block
• Mileage: 0
• Warranty: 6 months
• Includes: cylinder head, camshaft, oil pan, oil pump, timing components, etc.
• Does not appear to be a complete dressed engine — it’s a long block, so you should expect to transfer accessories and possibly intake/exhaust components, sensors, wiring, turbo-related components, etc.

Compared with the previous Buick Encore engine

The previous listing you sent was:

• 2018 Encore
• 1.4L
• VIN B / LUV
• 58,052 miles
• Used
• Engine long block

This new one is:

• LE2
• VIN M
• 0 miles / new
• 6-month warranty

Those are not the same engine specification. I would not buy the earlier LUV/VIN-B engine as a replacement for an LE2/VIN-M vehicle merely because both are 1.4L turbo engines.

Important distinction

The new listing’s compatibility table is broad, but the useful information is the explicit:

1.4L VIN M, 8th digit, LE2

So if your vehicle’s VIN has M as the 8th character and the vehicle uses the LE2, this is a substantially stronger candidate.

If your vehicle has B as the 8th VIN character / LUV, this is not the listing I’d choose.

If you give me your vehicle’s year + model + VIN, I can compare it against all the engines you’ve sent so far and rank the compatible ones from best to worst, including which one is safest to purchase.
