Engine code location:





Google the number (the large print number), pick the Wikipedia link. Look at specs for your engine.



If you have VTEC (note: no H) you would have one of these valves stuck to the head






If you don't have dual camshafts, it's SOHC.

Right. See this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_D_engine#D16Y7


And there's no H in VTEC.
