1990 Honda Prelude Engine 2.05L (4 cylinder, fuel injected), VIN 5 (8th digit)

Q: Will this actually fit my vehicle?

We match the unit to your VIN, not just the year and model. It may come from a different donor year or trim and still fit and function like the original; that is not grounds for a return. Our fitment desk will check your VIN free: call 307-441-9797 or text 307-441-5554.

Q: Do I see the unit before it ships?

Yes. After you order we dismantle, clean and send HD photos of your exact unit by text or email, and nothing ships until you approve them in writing. If you reject the photos before dispatch you receive a 100% refund with zero cancellation or restocking fees.

Q: Can I cancel? What does it cost?

Within 24 hours of payment you can cancel for a full refund. Rejecting the pre-shipment photos gives a full refund at any point before dispatch. Cancelling after 24 hours for any other reason carries a 20% restocking fee, plus round-trip freight of roughly $350 to $400 each way if the unit has already shipped.

Q: How long is the warranty on this engine?

Coverage depends on model year: 1 month for 1990 or earlier, 3 months for 1991 to 2000, and 6 months for 2001 onward. Extended coverage of 1, 2 or 3 years total is available on 2005 and newer vehicles for 15%, 25% or 35% of the unit price, added before dispatch. Coverage runs from the date of purchase and is parts-only.

Q: Can I cover the shop labor too?

Yes. Labor coverage is an optional add-on chosen before dispatch. You select the amount and pay one fifth of it once, from $50 covering $250 up to $500 covering $2,500, paid on an approved claim against your labor invoice. It is not available on CVT transmissions, Ford 5.4L engines or units more than 15 years old.

Q: How is it shipped, and how fast?

Each unit is strapped to a heavy-duty pallet, metal-strapped, bubble-wrapped and shipped by commercial freight carrier. Delivery to a commercial address is free; residential delivery with liftgate is $100. Transit is typically 3 to 5 business days after your photo approval. Alaska and Hawaii are quoted separately.

Q: What do I do on delivery day?

Inspect the crate and unit before signing the carrier's Bill of Lading. If there is damage, write RECEIVED DAMAGED with a description on the BOL before signing, photograph the unit and the BOL, and send both within 48 hours. Do not refuse the delivery; a noted acceptance preserves your claim in full.

Q: Something is wrong inside 30 days. What happens?

Report it in writing within 30 days of purchase with the unit still uninstalled. For visible damage or a warranty-covered issue we issue a Return Authorization, arrange the pick-up and pay the freight both ways. Approved claims receive an inspected replacement of equal grade, and if we cannot supply one within 10 business days you are refunded.

Q: I changed my mind or ordered the wrong part. Can I return it?

Yes, within 30 days as a no-fault return: a 20% restocking fee plus actual round-trip freight of roughly $350 to $400 each way, with the unit uninstalled and on its original pallet. Rejecting the pre-shipment photos instead costs nothing, which is why we send them first.

Straight answers

What buyers ask before they click

Twelve questions, answered from our published policies, not from a sales script. Every answer links to the page that governs it.

Fitment Will this actually fit my vehicle?

We match the unit to your VIN, not just the year and model. It may come from a different donor year or trim and still fit and run like the original - that is how interchange works, and it is not grounds for a return. Not sure? Our fitment desk checks your VIN free: call 307-441-9797 or text 307-441-5554.
Compatibility coverage

Photos & cancelling Do I see the unit before it ships?

Yes, always. After you order we pull it, clean it and send you HD photos of your exact unit by text or email. Nothing leaves until you approve them in writing. Do not like what you see? Reject the photos and you get 100% back - zero cancellation or restocking fees.
Refund policy

Photos & cancelling Can I cancel? What does it cost?

Within 24 hours of payment: full refund, no questions. Rejecting the pre-shipment photos: full refund at any point before dispatch. Cancelling after 24 hours for any other reason: a 20% restocking fee, plus round-trip freight (about $350-400 each way) if the unit has already shipped.

Warranty What exactly does the warranty cover?

The internally lubricated, internally driven parts of the unit - block, cylinder heads, pistons, crankshaft, camshaft and the key internal moving parts. Bolt-on accessories ship with it as free courtesy items and are not covered. Labor, fluids, towing and downtime are outside cover unless you add labor protection.
Full warranty

Warranty Can I cover the shop labor too?

Yes, as an optional add-on chosen before dispatch. You pick the amount your shop quoted and pay one fifth of it once: $50 covers $250, $100 covers $500, up to $500 covering $2,500. Paid on an approved claim against your labor invoice. Not available on CVTs, Ford 5.4L engines or units over 15 years old.
Full warranty

Shipping How is it shipped, and how fast?

Strapped to a heavy-duty pallet, metal-strapped and bubble-wrapped, by commercial freight (R+L, FedEx Freight, UPS Freight, TForce). Commercial address: free. Residential with liftgate: $100. Transit is typically 3-5 business days after your photo approval. Alaska and Hawaii are quoted separately.
Shipping policy

Shipping What do I do on delivery day?

Inspect before you sign. The driver waits while you check for cracks, broken ears or bent parts. See damage? Write "RECEIVED DAMAGED - [what]" on the Bill of Lading, sign, photograph it, and send us both within 48 hours. Do not refuse the delivery - a noted acceptance protects your claim in full; a refusal without notation leaves no record.
Shipping policy

Returns Something is wrong inside 30 days. What happens?

Tell us in writing within 30 days of purchase, unit still uninstalled. For visible damage or a warranty-covered issue we issue a Return Authorization, we arrange the pick-up and we pay the freight both ways. Approved claims get an inspected replacement of equal grade; if we cannot supply one within 10 business days, you are refunded.
Refund policy

Returns I changed my mind or ordered the wrong part. Can I return it?

Within 30 days, yes - as a no-fault return: 20% restocking fee plus the actual round-trip freight (about $350-400 each way), unit uninstalled and on its original pallet. This is exactly why we send photos first and check your VIN free: reject before it ships and it costs nothing.
Refund policy

Installation What ships in the crate, and what must my mechanic do?

A long block plus free bolt-on accessories. Alternator and starter may not be included. The water pump must be replaced with a new one - it is a warranty condition. Install within 30 days of purchase, by a licensed mechanic, following our pre-installation checklist. Keep the receipts.

The story behind this engine

This 2.05L 4-cylinder engine is the one Honda built into the 1990 Prelude coupe, running on gasoline. On this vehicle it is identified by character 5 in position 8 of the VIN.

The same engine was fitted across the 1990–1991 model years. That is why a matched donor can come from a different year or model and still be a correct, factory-spec fit for your vehicle.

Ours come out of donor vehicles. Each one is inspected and photographed for your approval, then strapped to a pallet and sent by freight to your shop.
