yeah, this is instructions, not a question... it's not my motor... and you're wrong (it's Tony's D16Y8, RIP)

Guys, this wasn't a question!!! This was a "how-to" by MXS to help people figure it out.

And p.s. Jameson, they are spelled VTEC (no H) and Solenoid (not solinode)

if the code on the engine block is d16y8, it has vtec... look for the little green vtec solenoid as shown in this thread

Its hard to tell what kind of motor you have when it is covered in red paint but it looks like you have a 1.6 SOHC NON VTEC

its actually vtec, you can tell by the vtec solinode and having the spark plugs in front. all D15-D16 SOHC engines with Vtec have there spark plugs located on the front of the valve cover, and like i said before just look behind it for the **** solinode,

all SOHC D series motors have their spark plugs in the front
