I have an EJ8 and an EJ1. On the 95 engine the word "vtec" is machined onto it. On my 00 it only says "Honda". Has someone messed with my engine ( I bought second hand) or is this just the way honda made the 2000s??

Im unsure about the vtech part of your engine but Its VTEC and not VTECH... Just had to clear that up

 

d16y8 is your motor, yes you do have VTEC.

 

Yes VTEC. That is what I meant.

 

look for a vtec solenoid. if it has vtec then there should be a solenoid on the back of the head just around the corner from the distributor

 

lol I don't know how you screw up "vtec" if you're literally looking right at it

I am at work and not Literally looking right at it.
Thanks

 

Thanks for the pic... I'll go and check it out at lunch.

And thanks for not teasing me Tooo much

if it is, you better answer it.


Hopefully you didn't get scammed on your new buy.

 

ha ha ha...

 

am afraid Honda never made 00 with vtech

 

96-00 Valve covers only say "Honda", not like the 92-95 Z6 motors that had the "Honda VTEC" and the Honda emblem on them...if its an EX, which im guessing it is cause you called it an EJ8, then it DOES have VTEC

 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

 

^^^ Hahahhahahahaha. That picture just made my lunch break more enjoyable

only 92 z6 covers had "VTEC" on them. 93-95 had honda and honda emblem on them. thats why those vtec valve covers are hard to find and usually go for more $.

 

from 96-2000 it doesnt say vtec.if its a d16y8 then its vtec

I'm pretty sure its been untampered but I could be wrong.

I'll check my other friends 95 Ex. He's had his for like 7 years and bought it from some lady so I know that is stock. But I'm pretty sure that one says VTEC too.

But I did just go to a honda parts site and it had a picture of the one without it...weird.
