ok, i have a 95 civic DX with the d16y7 and the head says its a 95 but i was told the motor was out of a 97 and it was vtec swap. sence the y7 is non-vtec could maby the head just have been changed and how do i know from lookin at the head if its a vtec or not?

Wiki is a great source of information:

I'll add a bit to this. From the research I've done D16Y7 is a non vtec out of 1996-2000 civics. Which explains why its out of a 97. VTEC valve covers say VTEC on them. if yours doesnt say VTEC, it's not VTEC... Take a picture of your engine bay and someone here might be able to tell you what your head is.

lol not all vtec motors have valve covers that say VTECH, i know i have a d16y7 block (non- vtec) andi have a d16z6 head (Vtec), i just dont know what intake manifold i have but ive been told its a y8 but i cant find any y8's with the casting code P2K IPT - 2 on them.

Hmm I didn't know that... post a picture on here and someone might be able to tell you... I haven't personally seen a VTEC without it being written on the valve cover lol!

Yep, just look for the vtec solonoid, biggest sign, if you dont see it anywhere near the block, then its not a VTEC

It's funny how often that happens here... Just shows you how often Honda motors get swapped out.
