hey out there can anyone tell me wat the difference from these two valve covers are? wat i mean is wat car or motor did they originally belong to? thanks

 

One is yellow one is not.

From a B series VTEC engine. B16A, B18C, I don't know. I think they're the same.

 

one of my buddies told me that the one with the big VTEC might be from a Type R but im not sure, thas wat im tryin to find out.

 

big Vtec little dohc honda = jdm
big Dohc little Vtec honda motor co.=usdm

all b series vtec are interchangable

correct me if im wrong

 

Big "DOHC" means it's an early engine (ie JDM OBD0 B16A) or first gen and small "DOHC" means it's a later engine (ie B18C, etc.) or second gen if I remember correctly.

 

Small vtec mean first gen b16a obd0 big vtec is later model b16 or gsr or type r valve cover

1st gen and 2nd gen b16's

 

Why does everybody spell "what" like "wat" nowadays? I mean come on, it's one freaking letter .

Anyways, yes the larger DOHC is from an older VTEC motor.

always thought this was correct.

notice the black cover also has "honda motor co." and not just "honda" meaning its a usdm vc.
my '97 integra had the big dohc and little vtec valve cover straight from the factory and it said "honda motor co." ...
