is this a vtec
 

all d16 motors have vtec...is this correct..i ched the block and it said that, but hte valve cover doesnt say vtec like the dohc

not all valve covers say vtec, whats the full block code?

My d16z6 and the valve cover duznt say Vtec... usually if the spark plugs are on the side of the valve cover towards the rad it is vtec.

no not all d's are vtec :thumbsup :p

my old d16z6 used to say vtec on the valve cover
the most common SOHC VTECs are
d16z6
d15b vtec
sohc zc vtec
d16y8
and a miriad of economy-minded d15 vtecs

A simple way of telling if an engine has vtec is to check for the vtec solenoid. This is a pic of one on a b-series vtec engines (circled in blue), on the d-series its usually on the other side of the distributor, the dizzy is in the middle of the valve cover on SOHC b/c thats where the camshaft is.
