you can always open it up and look at the cams, the vtec ones have two cam profiles, whereas the non vtec ones don't.

dude, all 96-up d-series heads basically look identical.

if it has a vtec silenoid, or a place for one, it is a d16y8 head.

If the place where the silenoid should be is void, then d16y7

or if this part confuses the **** out if you, then you can open it and see if there are more than one cam profile, basically, there will be 3 cam lobes per set of valves.
