I've got a 95 Civic HX. It does not have the original motor in it. It has a DOHC vtec engine. I do not know what series motor it is. I need to identify it so I can replace it with a new one considering my brother in law drove it into a huge puddle and hydro-locked it. Can anyone tell me how to figure it out without getting the vin number off the motor? I don't have a lift to put it on. Any suggestions would be incredibly appreciated.

 

DOHC motors were not stock in the HX.

are you making your brother pay for it?

 

Sounds like the motor was swapped with a B16 motor. On the side of the timing belt cover or near it should be a motor number.
