i need some help here people.
i just bought an 84 civic.It says it has an ew5 engine,but i cant find anything on the net thats any help.All the info i have gotten says it was in later models not the 84.
its a 1.5lt PGM-FI SOHC CVCC.
I tried to get some parts for it but they either didnt fit properly or were just compleatly different.
im at a loss

PLEASE HELP

 

find the actual engine code located on a flat part of the engine block, to the left of the exhaust manifold.

that will siginificantly help you in figuring out the parts you need for repairs

 

the code on the block is the same as the one on the compliance plate
the main problem im having is with the rocker cover seal,the one thats on there at the moment is leaking and dont fit properly,i thoughtthe sealwas for a different engineand the previous owner had just slaped it in there hoping it would work but it didnt.I went and got another one for the EW5 engine but its the same as the one thats already in there.So i think the engine number is wrong some how(highly unlikely)or it has a different rocker cover on it.
I've tried to serch for pics of the EW5 engine on the net to see if its the same but i cant find any.its really starting to **** me
