d16y8 Question

[xNocturnalx]

i have a 96 civic with the d16 in it and i looked at the block code and it says d16y8 but the head dont have v tec on it does that mean its a non vtec head or what????:thinking::thinking::thinking::thinking:

[Barefoot]

no solenoid no vtec

[xNocturnalx]

but sumone told me if it is a d16y8 then it has to b vtec but i dont think it is

[Kourt]

D16y8 is vtec, maybe someone has changed the head or taken off the vtec, or maybe youre over looking it. Non vtec would be a d16y7

[xNocturnalx]

naw its a d16y8 im not over looking the vtec either its not there

you got vtec man!! :goodjob: the vtec motors have spark plugs on the bottom of the valve cover.. non-vtec is on the top!!

[Turbodude06]

No my Y7 plugs are at the bottom too. I know the y8's don't say vtec on the valve cover but they still have a solenoid, if it don't have a solenoid then its a y7 head.

I know the y8's don't say vtec on the valve cover
d16y8 valve covers dont say VTEC on them /thread

hmmm.... didnt know that, lol.. disregard last post!

[toxxxic]

Do you mean the VALVE COVER doesn't say VTEC? Because a lot of them don't... the z6 vc says vtec, don't think the y8 does.

i have a d16y8 and vtec pulls hard on mine..you gotta get ur vtec broke back in bc the previous owner that had mine never got on it, i had to keep getting on vtec so it cud pop in nice and now it works great. so idk maybe my scenario will work.
