Dont worry about the valve cover its just an aftermarket one.

Why dont you read the lil numbers right below where the coolant tube goes into the engine... It should say H22 if it is indeed a H22. Other thing to make sure is that it the VTEC head, unless the seller is doing some shady stuff...

Look at the stamp inside the circle.
Going to assume it's a VTEC head since the solenoid is there.

It could be a h22 with swapped valve cover, or......

it could be the only factory engine to come with that cover, the jdm F20B

I think the engine alone with low miles would be worth near that. Hows the body look.

That's not the only one to come factory with a blue top... the JDM H23a also came factory with a blue top...

OP... Definatetly get that car if it is only $2000, that is a good price for a car with a H22 swap in it..

It's the only 'vtec" F or H series to have the blue valve cover. The H23 is a non vtec engine, and can't be faked, because the 2 styles of valve covers are 'not' interchangable.
