hey does anyone know how to tell what sohc you got underneath the hood?

i'm buying a crx that has a rebuilt (or so the seller says) jdm sohc underneath the hood, but he doesn't know if it's zc.

Yes, look at the code on the engine block, where the tranny meets the engine. If it says "ZC" then it's a ZC.

I'm a B series guy, but I voted D16Y8 because it's a nice, new motor with a good head and plenty of potential. I ran consistent low 15's with a basically stock one in an 89 CRX.

i would say d16y8 they are plentiful, low milage, the best power, and how many people are throwing away them for a b18c? Also that fact that the dissy (ef) bolt right on compared to having to switch to obd1 or drilling the dizzy on the z6.

But all and all nothing is quite like a b series ef

d16a6 gets my vote- only because my 300,000+ mile d16a6 still pulls a low 15, gets nearly 40mpg, dynod at 118hp/104tq, and still has good compression across all cylinders.
