Hello, I have a 1988 Honda Civic Dx 5 speed manuel transmission SOHC. And my engine finally after 20 years decided to die. I purchased a new engine, it is a DOHC, ZC engine. Engine serial number: 3002700 and Transmission Serial Number: s20-2552833. the valve cover is black and has 8 grommits that look like this: the asteriks represent the grommits

I need to know what vehicle this engine came out of, so I can get the right distributor and valve cover gasket set from the auto parts store. I have researched for the past 12 hours and cannot find a single thing that helps me except more and more parts lists. The person I bought the motor from said it had 45,000 miles on it and that when he got it, it came out of a CRX. But, thats all he knew about the engine. Any help would be greatly appreicated. There was a faint stamp inside the valve cover on the bottom of it, that said D16, when I wiped it a little bit to see it better it rubbed off. I did find a eg5 on ebay, that looked quite similar actually identical according to the picture but i was still unsure.
