If its the stock engine, you have a D16Y8. It's a D series, 4 cylinder, 1.6L, VTEC. Only DOHC engine valvecovers say VTEC Bro. Honda doesn't like to style up SOHC D engines.

Sorry OP that nobody has helped you out yet......
Valve covers are a lousy way to tell what engine you have. This picture will help in what you need to know
here is for the year
here is for the actual engine code ID
