A 99 Si motor is not a Japanese engine.

Does the code on the left side of the block say B16A or B16A2 ?

If it was a USDM b16...it would read - b16a2 - which came in the 99 and 00 civic Si.

Looks like you have a 1st gen JDM b16 - not much diff from the 2nd gen - a little less power than the 2nd gen

Whoever sold you that timing chain kit should be fired for being stupid. Whether your engine is an 89 or a 98, Hondas didn't have timing chains until the introduction of K-series engines.
