i bought this head from a junk yard and the guy told me it was a vtec head he said if it wasnt then i could return it,
Thanks for your help in advance

it doesn't look like a Y8 head...

maybe a Z6?
my Y8 head looks different than that.

i don't think it is.
then again, i'm tired as balls. so it could be. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

i think it looks like it... i'm not sure though.. it looks like Z6?

Re: (NegativeXero)
 

thanx guys i appreciate it i forgot to say the guy said it came out of a 95 civic

Re: (JDM-BABY)
 

whatever it is, its not vtec, and since you cant return it, id go back to the junkyard and throw the valve cover at that guys face who told u it was..

^^ lol

No VTEC FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

Re: need help, is this a vtec head (954dooreg)
 

non vtec and probably from 96 up unless that valve cover replaced the orig.

im on the NO bandwaggon... just look for where the vtec solenoid mounts

Re: (spracer03)
 

it may be. check for the solenoid. a friend of mine has a 96 civic with a sohc vtec in it, and it has that valve cover.

dnag man, they better not pull some shit when you try to return it.

the VTEC solenoid on a d-series is behind the head (facing the firewall) more towards the left hand side if standing infront of the car. from the looks of it, there are two prongs sticking out of the head where it should be, i dont know if the solenoid mounts to that, someone more knowledgable would need to fill you in on this.

Definatly Not vtec. Looks like a Y7.

Doesn't look like there's any spot for the VTEC solenoid in this pic.

or you could look at the valvetrain and easily tell its not vtec

Re: (x_outlaw_x)
 

thank you guys im going to return the head tommarow

Re: (954dooreg)
 

yea no vtec solenoid nor LMA's

Re: need help, is this a vtec head (954dooreg)
 

Looks like a vtec head to me.

I believe the spark plugs are on the back of the valve cover for non-vtec. May just be missing the solenoid.

Probably out of an EX. Of course I could be mistaken.

looks like a vtec head to me as well plugs in front. if they were in the back of the motor it would be a non-vtec motor

Re: (954dooreg)
 

on the z6, didn't the 92-93 not say vtec on them, and the 94 95 do say vtec?

Re: (deathplaza)
 

I've seen them four ways from 92-95.

1. black coated w/VTEC and HONDA (symbol and wording)
2. black coated paint w/HONDA (symbol and wording) only
3. no paint w/VTEC and HONDA (symbol and wording)
4. no paint w/HONDA only

Re: (EG6_GUY)
 

looking at the spark plug holes:

95 head, it is a VTEC head.

96+ head, it could be anything
