hey i was always confused about what the valvecover colors stood for as far as what type of engine is in the car.

can anyone tell me?

i think red was usdm h22's and blue was EURO?

 

isnt red on the type s motors. such as the jdmh22a, and blue for the euro. and good old faded black for the usdms..
?

 

its in the FAQs
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=641555

black is usdm
blue siR spec
red type s

 

Any regular old jdm or usdm h22a/a1/a4 is black

the f20b, and the h23a vtec are blue

the type s is red

 

weird. i have a red top and im pretty sure its a usdm h22a1?

 

painted valve cover or a valvecover, no biggy. lol

 

lol ok. i was all confuzed why it was like that. i was hopin type S head

 

did u buy the car modified. cause u can buy a red type s valve cover about anywhere.

 

Replied on CPC....
Camo=One6
Yellow=JUN

 

didnt you know you can make your regular h22 a type S just by putting a red cover on it.

I have a H22ax cause my cover is the ilver metalic cover. The h22ax's main feature is the vtec wont engauge period. Im thinking of switch to the type s cover so i can have Vtec.

;p

 

YAY!!!

im guessin its jus a valve cover then.

o well it still looks cool!

No, don't spread false information. In the USDM there was 'base' and 'SH'.

never go by the color.. read the block. ppl paint valve covers all the time. what's the big deal w/ red valve covers anyway.. woo hoo mine's JdM rEd y0! i like mine black. though i wouldn't mine painting mine pearl white like mykizisms'

Maybe you meant to say ALL 92-96 Preludes are Si's?
A non-SH Prelude is JUST a Prelude!
