need to take pic of the motor anyhow.

the short block could've been swapped with another head ...so that's where the grey areas come in...

can't you even hear the VTEC kick in? Or feel a slight jerk when you're above 4500rpm? I'm sure you can

Or like SilverCRXSi said, installing a VTEC light would help too

you know what it might be a 2nd gen but im not too familiar with the differences from the 1st and 2nd gen's.
btw you should of been familiar with the differences between the 2 before you even do a swap. who does a swap and doesen't know what motor he has in his car after it's done. you could of got ripped off large.
wel if it's a 2nd gen i give you

and if it's a first gen ill give you

as long as you got a DOHC and you didn't get ripped off for paying extra $$ then it's cool... you're probably going to go nuts and swap those damn dinky B16A cams for Type R or more agressive ones one day or another

From what the rexers tell me the only way to differentiate a 1st and 2nd gen b16 is wether or not the its a hyrdo tranny.
1st gens are cable tranny and 2nd gens+ are hydro tranny.

Well you could also look at the engine code stamped on the block too...
