Could have a D16y8 (single cam)or a B16a3(dual cam). just pop your hood and see what the valvecover says if its dohc you will know it cause it will say DOHC VTEC

post a pic, or look for the engine code on the front of the block, where the tranny meets the block, underneath the front left side of the valve cover....
either it's a d16y8 that's been swapped in or its a b16a3?

del sol si from 92-95 had d16z6 and 96-97 had d16y8 both SOHC vtec.
the only dohc vtec del sol was the del sol dohc vtec which had a b16

Re: (civicrida3)
an easier way to tell... if he obviously doesnt reconize a differnce in a DOHC and SOHC valve cover... where is the red line... 6500 or 6800 would be sohc non vtec, 7k would be sohc vtec, and 8kish would be dohc vtec

pop the hood and if all the spark plugs are in the middle of the valve cover and in a little indented trough type thing you have the b series if they are to the front or to the back and aren't in a little trough type thing then you have the d series

WTF are you talking about? Only the EX came with a Y8. The HX came with a Y5 and everything else came with the Y7.
