VVTi 1J Identifying engine/vin number/other questions

[JZ14]

Hey guys, I just recently picked up a VVTi from a JZX100 (i believe). I'm trying to ideally find the vin number from what my engine actually came out of (long shot I know). I have the engine number (on the head at the back? OE25009?) Probably a huge amount of stupid and basic questions to come but here's the first one;

On the front of the timing cover, there's a white sticker. Mine says S2, but I have seen others like, J2 etc

eg J8;


Edit: Also, the top radiator hose, does it have to come across the engine like it does from factory? Or can I cut the pipe and re-weld it so it just goes straight, rather than the 90* bend it has? IE like this;



Everything is going to be stock for now, minus aftermarket radiator.

Thanks guys.

Unsure about the number on cover but yes you are fine to redirect top hose
