will a v-tec valve cover work on a non v-tec head? And would a d16 valve cover work on a d15?
 
1, it's vtec not vtech, it's not the electronic company. and 2 why would you want to swap over the valve cover? did you do a mini me swap?
 
no a vtec valve cover wont fit on a nonvtec head..vtec spark plugs are in the front upper part of the head.where non vtec are in the rear upper..
as for 1.6 and 1.5 if its non vtec then im pretty sure they will fit

I'm not sure if you read what I put in my post but it doesn't say vtech, it says vtec! And I was just curious, I want a "wrinkle" red valve cover for my y7 but vtec valve covers are easier to find than non in this style. Thanks for the info guys

D16Y7 non-VTEC spark plugs are in the front just like a D16Y8 VTEC
 
yea that was just what I found in a quick search.
 
I didn't prime coat mine just prepped it good.
