LMAO. the valve cover doesnt tell you if you have VTEC or not.

Check your engine code and look that up. Then you will know.

haha sorry to laugh but you can't just look for the vtec for it to be vtec. check the engine code and u'll know and just by changing the valve cover with one that reads "vtec" doesn't mean you have it

hahahaha sorry to laugh at u but you cant just look for the engine code to find if u have VTEC..... theres a shitload of people out there with Mini-me's, LS/VTEC and CR-VTEC.. they have non VTEC blocks and VTEC heads/.....
the sure way its to find the holy solenoid.......
