What type of engine is this?

Morning guys, I just picked up a car for my wife. It's a 1996 ACURA INTEGRA SPECIAL EDITION 2 door hatch. Im not sure where to find out what engine it has but here is a picture of it



To me it looks like it might be a B18B? Car was made in Japan. Same size as my Civic but very little room in the back.

Thanks,

i agree, the painted number on the valve cover looks like it came from a wrecker somewhere.
