Ok I just took the 2000 civic si, 5spd of course out that I am considering buying. I poped the hood to check the engine and saw that it didnt have one of these

the black thing that says dohc v-tec and the honda logo. it was really too dark to read what it said on it. but it looked something like this

now I thought I had read somewhere that all 99-00 si's had a v-tec. am I wrong about this or could the engine of been like this

thanks
