Does anyone know where the casting numbers are on the head, so I can tell is its a vtec head or not? the block says D15B7.. but the valve cover say VTEC.

 

I have a '92 civic VX h/b manual. The window sticker is IN the original paperwork for this car I just boughtand states that it's a (D15Z1 vtec-e) engine. This is the high efficiency lean burn 92HP engine. But when I lift the hood it doesn't have any markings on top of engine that state vtec, as i've always seen on other vtec engines.

Is there something on the engine I can check to see if the engine thats in there, IS the vtec-e engine it left the factory with?- If i'm not mistaken it also states on a sticker, assembled in Canada.
Thanks!

 

Minor Correction, not a big deal. I just see this a lot and people are getting misinformed from many places:

92-95 JDM Civic VTi (D15B SOHC VTEC)
130 ps @ 6800 RPMS= ~128 hp not 130 hp.


You can look for a VTEC solenoid on the rear passenger side of the valve cover and head. One solenoid = Standard VTEC. Two solenoids = 3-Stage VTEC.

 

I would like to know if the head of a 95 civic will fit on a 90 bottom end

 

engines of both? (DX, EX, SI, etc)

 

I would like to find out if a 1990 1.5 engine block is the same as a 1995 engine block? (Honda Civic)
And will the head from a 1995 Civic fit on the bottom end of a 1990 civic?

 

Just answer the question dude. Or give us actual engine codes (D15B6, D15B2, D16Z6, D15B, ZC, etc)

 

maybe *shrug*


We need more details as far as WHAT SPECIFIC MOTORS you're working with. Find the engine codes and let us know...
