Canadian Si or US?

Canadian is same as US Civic Ex. 1.7L D series engine.

US Si, manual trans only, 2.0L K series engine with a timing chain.

Si stands for Sport Injected.

I see from another thread you posted that the car is an automatic so that means its a Canadian Si as the US version is strictly manual trans.

So you basically have a Civic Ex.

the difference is on the head, which have V-TEC mounting point with oil passages. The rest is the same, timing belt related.

Non-Si will not have the VTEC or the higher compression/oil squirts under pistons.
SiR are completely different engines, so don't get parts for it. That's the important item.

Either way, just get the ones for the car year/model, just in case.
