Valve cover off an EF

By pierreconejos89
- Sun Jul 13, 2008 6:20 pm #61915 Hey guys i just grabbed a valve cover off a 16v sohc engine in an EF hatch. It was in a junk yard and i got it for like 10 bucks so i thought it was a deal. It seriously looks brand new. Will this cover fit on my d15b8?

However If someone swapped in a Vtec or y7 Head(Spark plug holes in Frount), the Valve Cover wont fit.

- Tue Jul 15, 2008 3:25 am #62112 Good job DC4rob, but why did you exclude the 96-00 SOHC VTEC valve covers? They are identical to the 96-00 SOHC NON-VTEC valve covers.

In other words, the Y7 valve cover will fit a Y8, Y5, a Z6, and even a Z1.

they are similar to the 92-95 vtec valve covers and plus i put 92-00 sohc vtec on the first picture.

on the valve covers i seen in all sorts of variations like the black crinkle coat front spark plugs, black crinkle coat front spark plugs with vtec logo on it and so forth

- Wed Jul 16, 2008 4:37 pm #62245 The phrase "92-00 SOHC VTEC " doesn't include 96-00 NON-VTEC.

In 94 and 95 they put "VTEC" and "VTEC-E" on the Z6 and Z1 valve covers. Before that they just said Honda. It took me a while to track down a "VTEC-E" valve cover for my 3 Stage motor so that's why I know. I forget the break down for the crinkle paint. I'm pretty sure it was 93 and earlier.

There's a federal law that car models have to have significant changes every couple years and that's why you see small variations in cars ie valve covers two years into a new model release.
