Yes, but seeing that the dip stick in the in middle instead of on the crank side, I would say it's a D15B (ZC). Plus it says ZC on the valve cover.

I had this motor in my Civic before I swapped it out.
It's still sitting in my garage and I can vouch for the fact that it's a JDM D15B VTEC.

It's a SOHC VTEC ZC, which is pretty much identical to a D16Z6. That valve cover design is circa '94-95.

And yes, SOHC VTEC ZCs existed. Every 1.6L D-series engine in Japan was stamped "ZC." There is no such thing as a JDM D16. Thus, there are various "ZC" engines, ranging from DOHC non-VTEC carbed, to DOHC non-VTEC PGM-FI, to SOHC non-VTEC carbed, to SOHC non-VTEC PGM-FI, to SOHC VTEC PGM-FI.

You can even see the block stamp says "ZC" - it's a bit blurry, but look closer. Hell, the damn block stamp and serial number are written on the valve cover . . . duh.
