i doubt you will find any type of database that stores this kind of information. The only thing that would come close is if the work was done by a Honda Dealership and/or under warranty, in which Honda America and the dealership should have record of it.
the only other option i can think of is to try to track down the previous owners to ask them....but if it came from an auction, might be hard to do.

Currently have the same problem. But I have to get a new O2 sensor and don't know if my engine is 00-03 or 04-05 :|
My dealership guy said that he can't search for it but knows someone who may be able to help. It's been 2 weeks, no answer yet.
Is there a way to tell the year of the engine using the engine code? (the spark plug cover should have a year written on it once you take it off, that's all I could find and it's not exactly accurate)

The pp was a piece that I was not familiar with, but seemed to be a quality part, pedal feel was great.
Minus all the BSing with my dent guy, BSing with each other, and getting lunch at my "spot"
, You will be done in 3 hrs start to finish while you wait.I have a few lightweight flywheels, used and mint, to choose from if you like. Toda, sos, act, etc..
I will have my guy run that number.
Your flywheel will also be resurfaced in house while you wait. Here's his...

I would be freaked out that if the dealer couldn't get the vacuum hoses right, what else did they not get right? I would be freaked out to know that any dealer did any major service work on my car before I got it. I just don't trust dealers, ever.
But at least you had Billman give it a once-over, plus in doing the clutch he would be re-torqueing a lot of the bolts I would be worried the dealer didn't get right in the swap.

Looking forward to having mine done too. Need to remove the horrible clutch buzz. Did you go with OEM clutch and ACT flywheel. How much did it cost and where did you get it? How long did the work take. I would be driving up from Washington, DC just for this S2000 Guru

Don't dealerships report everything they do to a car to services like carfax? I know when I bought my S the carfax showed that the original owner had oil changes and other tune up services. Certainly they should report if they replaced an engine. Unless the motor was replaced at Joe Schmoe Auto repair or in someones home garage.
