The Si also has a VTEC stamp on the valve cover, redline should be around 7200, it should be easy to tell if it’s a DOHC or SOHC. 5500 is a good price esp since its only got 44k miles on it.

Well we already put 500$ down on the car, so if we decide not to go with it we loose that 500$, which we cant do

I am still getting it today, and it was fun to drive when I test drove it....
soooooo........... ohh wellz.

Well, if it an SI, it's already wired for VTEC = easy engine swap...

Look at the engine code. Only the del Sol VTECs had the DOHC VTEC sticker. D16Z6 is an Si (SOHC VTEC) while B16A2 or A3 is a del Sol VTEC.
