jdm b18c odd valve cover

[jackgetoff]

I have a swapped b18c assuming its jdm because i do not beleive usdm makes a motor stamped "b18c" i have it in 2000 SI but it has a cherry red valve cover but instead of having a honda symbol below the dohc vtec label it just reads honda motors inc.

Im just curious to why this valve cover is different from all the other b18c's ive seen, and if possible what model of honda it is originally from or if it actually belongs with this engine.

Thanks!!

just an aftermarket / different value cover, as long as the block says B18C and the head says P72 or P73, you're cool...

they might have just painted it...do you have a pic?

The ones without the big H are Acura valve covers. They probably just switched valve covers for whatever reason.
