Could you build this?
Partial The site and lookup UI are easy, but accurate date-code decoding and oil and spark plug specs need carefully sourced data from manufacturer manuals across many engine families.
What it would actually take: Build a database of engine models, serial or date-code formats, and spec tables, populated from service manuals and parts catalogs, then serve it through a searchable site. The hard part is data accuracy and coverage, since date-code schemes vary by manufacturer and era. That requires manual research and some domain knowledge of small-engine repair.
