lame 1.6 question...

lame 1.6 question...
my friend has a 92 that is all kinds of jacked up. compression sucks, knocks, no power... all kinds of good stuff. he just wants to swap another 1.6 in. he sourced one for $100, and i took a look at it, doesnt seem too bad, just needs a headgasket (all the seller knew about it, and rusty rear intake-side of block confirms). but the seller doesnt know what year it is out of.
are there any tell tale signs of a SNC 1.6? i searched around, couldnt find anything, and cant find any stickies.
he is already on the road to fail, but the SNC would be extra fail...

Are you sure it was the HG and not the cursed water plug leaking back there?
Do not buy the engine without inspecting the crank keyway for damage, no matter what year. A SNC isn't the kiss of death if the keyway is good. Just take preventative measures before using it.
