<\/p>\n
This latest listing is much more specific<\/strong> than the earlier 1.4L Buick Encore engine.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What this engine is<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n
  • Engine:<\/strong> GM 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Engine code:<\/strong> LE2<\/strong><\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • VIN:<\/strong> M, 8th digit<\/strong><\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Type:<\/strong> New long block<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Mileage:<\/strong> 0<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Warranty:<\/strong> 6 months<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Includes:<\/strong> cylinder head, camshaft, oil pan, oil pump, timing components, etc.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Does not appear to be a complete dressed engine<\/strong> \u2014 it’s a long block<\/strong>, so you should expect to transfer accessories and possibly intake\/exhaust components, sensors, wiring, turbo-related components, etc.<\/li>\n

    <\/ul>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Compared with the previous Buick Encore engine<\/h3>\n

    The previous listing you sent was:<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n
    • 2018 Encore<\/li>\n

      <\/p>\n

    • 1.4L<\/li>\n

      <\/p>\n

    • VIN B \/ LUV<\/strong><\/li>\n

      <\/p>\n

    • 58,052 miles<\/li>\n

      <\/p>\n

    • Used<\/li>\n

      <\/p>\n

    • Engine long block<\/li>\n

      <\/ul>\n

      This new one is:<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n
      • LE2<\/strong><\/li>\n

        <\/p>\n

      • VIN M<\/strong><\/li>\n

        <\/p>\n

      • 0 miles \/ new<\/li>\n

        <\/p>\n

      • 6-month warranty<\/li>\n

        <\/ul>\n

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

        <\/p>\n

        Important distinction<\/h3>\n

        The new listing’s compatibility table is broad, but the useful information is the explicit:<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        1.4L VIN M, 8th digit, LE2<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

        So if your vehicle’s VIN has M as the 8th character<\/strong> and the vehicle uses the LE2<\/strong>, this is a substantially stronger candidate.<\/p>\n

        If your vehicle has B as the 8th VIN character \/ LUV<\/strong>, this is not the listing I’d choose<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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