alritei just ordered a ZC motor, and it arrived early today. it has a black valve cover, DOHC, and the date says 87, and i have an 88 crx, and i made damn sure not to get the brown cover, but now im scared that because it was made in 87 it wont fit..? i looked for information on it and i read somethign different each time. im assuming they never made a black top zc for the 1st generation. and yes it is a ZC, it is stampled on the block. SOMEONE help me FAST!
