ok, well i have a d16y7 and it has one of those mugen replica valve covers on it. i was kinda thinking why the previous owner would spend the money on one if the engine is stock and not spend it on something else. you cant really tell a sohc has vtec by flooring it:mrgreen: so how could i find out if i have a vtec head or not? thanks!

Look for a vtec solenoid, Check ECU code..... Probably out of luck as the covers are interchangeable that year.

Should be by the rear left corner of the head behind the distributor.
