I guess, that it is 1986, or 1987. What you think?

The 86-87 engines and cyliders were painted black. I had to use a sand blaster to remove the paint off mine. That cylinders looks very new. I think the only think that changed from the 87 to 88-04 cylinder were the KIPS VAVLES.

My 01 cylinder looks very close, but the "KIPS" on the side does not have a border around it....
