Looks like 92,377 on the mileage area..........(I think it's miles a buddy says it's "km" simply 'cuz it's on a Japanese sticker. This car's only lived in Texas and California so I don't know why it'd be km so I'm goin' with 'miles')

bove that here's what I see............

1/1L ??? (jap symbol) 6 (jap symbol) 16 (jap symbol)

I'd guess that 6 and 16 have to do with the date, but WTF is that first part???

that's year month day.

the first one might be 1916, but then again, i don't think your timing belt cover is quite that old.
