Default Is this engine vtec?

I found a D16z6 civic si engine on ebay for civic's and i wanted to know if this engine i found is a vtec. It doesn't have "vtec" stamped on the valve cover, but the spark plug holes are to the front of the valve cover. any idea?

It may be a 92-93 D16Z6 as it won't have the VTEC letters on the valve cover. Those later came on the 94-95 D16Z6 engines.
