[AHHVTEC]

if the motor says d16z6 but it dont have a solenoid its missing or its a non vtec head

 

[delsolcharlie]

where exactly on the block would it say..im going off the VIN number...??

 

[AHHVTEC]

it will be on the front right were the motor and tranny come together, about a inch flat spot that will say d16z6 or d15b7 i think

 

[delsolcharlie]

[delsolcharlie]

Yep!

its the D16Z6 ....non vtec

 

[AHHVTEC]

[delsolcharlie]

i dont have a valve cover that says vtec or a soleniod....here is what it looks like

not my car but i dont have a pic of my engine and this is what it looks like

where is the soileniod ??

 

[AHHVTEC]

it willl be right beside the pvc valve on the valve cove it will have a green plug on it

 

[delsolcharlie]

alright ill check later..do you know what manual transmissions will bolt directly to this engine??

 

[AHHVTEC]

any 88 or newer d series but stick to 92+ because those are hydo like yours

here's where the solenoid should be if there is one. I made an arrow pointing at the one in the picture.

 

[Baker502]

just becouse it dosnt say vtech dosnt mean its not i have a buddy with the 93 si too. and his valve cover dosnt say vtech and it is.

 

[dtob]

Hahahahaha!!!

I'm sorry but it makes me laugh every time I see it spelled that way.

Ya my Si doesn't say Vtach on it either. Like mentioned above just look for the vtach solenoid with the green plug on it.

Hehehehe

 

[delsolcharlie]
