Has the engine been out before? Any marks on the mount bolts etc? May have been swapped from a warmer machine.... :pray:

Welcome to the FZR400 ... :lol:
All the engines have 1WG there's no engine number on any of them.

The fairing on the 600 (3HE) is stamped 3EN .... I think it's because the 400 bikes were developed first then those parts got used in the 600 production

Don't worry about it. All Yamaha Japanese imports have that type of engine number. My TRX, the TZR250 I've got now, the 3TJ I had and the RZ250 basket case I had a few years ago were all like that.
