Default The debate continues..D16A..I have pics!!

I have searched and have heard many opinions but no one had facts. I know Honda makes a JDM 1.6 VTECH. It normaly has ZC as its stamp. I have a 1.6 VTECH with D16A stamped on it, and no thier isn't a number rubbed off or missing. What do I have?

I received the engine from Intercrew in Richardson, Texas. I wanted a 1.6 VTECH to replace the D16Z6 that trashed itself when its timing belt broke. I did research and assumed I would get one stamped with ZC. I have heard that Honda ran short on ZC blocks and did a run of blocks marked D16A. I want to know if this is rumor or truth.

I know the engine(1.6 VTECH) exists but can't find anyone else with one stamped D16A. What I'm looking for is when and where was a D16A stamped block came form.

D16A is stamp used on 93-5 Civic Coupe in JDM land, to mark the d16z6 motor which is made in US anyways.

nothing unusual

Bump for more info. The link above has Japanese characters and from what I do see says nothing about the engine stamp. I want to know if any one else has this stamp???? What are its differences from the USDM engine?
