JD_B18CDX

Ur going to have to hide the Vtec solenoid as well....hehe

e_SolSi

i know some people will still be able to tell what it is ... theres no way to compleatly hide that its a type r engine im just trying to mask it a little so at the first look it wont be screaming "HEY I"M A TYPE R ENGINE!!" it was just a thought so i figured id throw the question out there....

no it will not fit. just get a dirty *** 1st gen b16a valve cover. i might have a rusty vtec solenoid in trade for yours laying around too. oh, i also have a beat up 1st gen intake manifold for trade for you itr one. i will straight trade but you pay shipping.

Pat McGroin

yea im taking a guess here arent there some clearance problems or something to do with the head.
cause i know you can not put vtec valve covers on ls engines

As a project, you can take any old b-series VTEC valve cover, strip off all the paint, sand down the letters, and repaint. You'll only fool a couple of people.

There's no hiding the engine code on the block though (doh!).

California Stealth mode 1st gen b16a1 vtec valve cover

That looks almost like my b18c valve cover, except I just took off the vtec, and left dohc

Count Blah, that valve cover is hot. How did you paint the H and Honda?

CRX_VTEC

It doesnt look like a LS cover with painted H and Honda. I think its a B16 with the DOHC sanded off...then painted and sanded again to get the H and Honda to show. at least thats what i can see.... Dont think Ls cover looks like that

Count Blah

Yep thats it....Its a B16a valve cover - stripped all paint off, sanded off the vtec & dohc (aka LS valve cover) , repainted the entire cover with high temp black engine enamel (semi glass) with about 5-6 coats, and then with a smal bit on the air sander sanded down the H and Honda Motor Co back to polished.

anybody who thinks that this is a ls valve cover, then they are morons

Before I rip you a new *******, just to clarify because your english was far from perfect, were you calling me a moron?

Sure there is... slap some grease onto the engine stamp and viola'

I fooled everyone when I ran my B20 motor with a GSR tranny (quicker than a EG hatch with B18C), telling them that it was just a LS swap, even throwing on an older 90 LS valve cover to throw them off a bit. With the tranny codes, you can't really tell by looking at it if it's a GSR or LS tranny, except for the little purge valve that's located on the top of a GSR tranny, but most people don't know what to look for.

As for sanding down a VTEC valve cover (like what Count Blah did), I've seen that before but it works better when you take OFF the spark plug cover.
