alright this is my 1st Honda since 1996.. i know where it suppose to be,(where the tranny meets the block) but i seems cant find it in mine for some reason.

Its a 98 Hatch and i have no idea which engine is underthe hood.

p.s. do i need to remove the header shield thing to see it?, its the only place i didnt check.

 

here ya go

I think you know what the engine code is. D16Y7 probabley.

 

thats what i thought.. just the 'number' thing annoys me..so beside engine code i dont have any other thing to chk if its VTec-ed? this block i need to use it until next summer...

The only way that motor would have been "vtec-ed" is if someone added a Y8, or Z6 vtec head to it. A quick way to check for that is look for the vtec soleniod.

 

take a picture of it

 

Here is the pic of the short block he got.

 

I never seen a stamp like that before on a honda engine.

I thought he was looking in the wrong spot for the engine code.

 

the only thing im worrying about now, is NOT that its not a Honda block(it might made by Hondas Taiwan OEM factory, need to be confirm)..the only thing i really worryed.. is that a B18C5/CR cant be fitted in..
im now calling friends to confirm that

B18C5/CR will fit in there with the right b series mounts.
