Default sticker says d16z6, but valve cover does not say vtec anywhere

i have a 93 civic EX and i know its supposed to have vtec, but i had a hard time finding a picture of this engine with a valve cover that just has the H symbol and honda next to it, like mine. is this normal?

Does your block say d16z6?

Do you have a VTEC solenoid behind your valve cover?

most of them don't say vtec.

most d16z6's that came from honda had just the H emblem on the valve cover.

Okay, I think there used to be some pics of valve covers that don't say VTEC on them from those years too, but looks like Photobucket took them down, they got moved, etc.
