If it's DOHC sedan then it has been swapped or it's not a Civic. (talking USDM of course)

Are you sure that it has a DOHC engine?

What's up guys I really appreciate you guys helping me out.I replaced the spark plugs,wires and the rotor,but when I tried to install the rotor cap that the auto part store recommended for the car it would not fit. So I had to make an extra trip and that's when I discovered that I had a dual overhead cam.

That can't be right. You sure it doesn't say D16Y7?
