Default What's my engine size?

I have a 1990 Accord LX.

In order for me to buy the right valve cover gasket set I need to give my parts guy my engine size to he can get the right engine code and the right part. Holy run-on sentence! Sorry about that. My hood is not the original so I can't get it from the manufacturer's "decal". Unlike my mini-van (Dodge) the size (i.e. 3.3L) is not on the engine itself. Any other distinguishing features that might tell me ehat it is? I think it's a 2.0L.

Thanks in advance,

CPJP

2.2 Litres. It's a member of the F22A/Bx series of engines. Your's is a non-Vtec version.
The 2.0 series ended (US Market) with the 1989 model year.

All:

The marking below the rad hose said F22A1. The correct part has been ordered.

Thanks for the help.
