The sticker the underside of my front trunk (or boot) lid says the engine number is M9622-65Y-G8601-003. I tried to determine whether it was likely that I had a dual row or single row IMS by using the guide on this page: http://www.lnengineering.com/ims.html

My engine number does not seem to fit in the ranges shown. Do I need to interpret or decipher the number in some way to put it in the format used on the web site? I found Mike Focke's VIN decipher web page, but I can't find one for the engine.

I guess if I wasn't so lazy I would just crawl under the car and read the one on the engine.
