Default Help with my engine plz...

Hey everyone I'm a new Honda owner I have a 92 civic Si on the block it says my engine is a D16A6 but it doesn't look like any A6 i've seen else where. It looks like it could be a DOHC. Can anyone help me figure out what it is or if it is possible to put a DOHC head on an A6 block. Please help...

Cheers Ash

Yeah mate i knew i could do that but I'm kinda worried about taking things off and then the availabilty of gaskets and things to put it back together. I was more wondering if anybody knows of this head change being done before. Would a pic of my engine maybe help???

Cheers Ash.

Thanx Marty my engine is definatly the second pic with the DOHC but it has D16A6 stamped on the block so how will I be able to find out what head I possibly have. I want to start chasing some more horses but can't until I know what I'm getting.

Cheers Ash
