Does the 98 Civic engine have VTEC? QUICK!

i'm gonna buy a 98 civic ex coupe. i know the ex comes with SOHC VTEC. but when i went to look at the car, the valve cove only said SOHC. has the engine been swapped out?

how do i tell if the engine is the correct one?

yes it does. Just to be sure...check the left upper portion of the valve cover for a vtec solenoid:

Re: (JDMTyPeRHaTcH)

I figured sohc vtecs have the spark plugs near the exhaust side while non-vtecs had the spark plugs up by the intake side. Are there exceptions to this?
