are all zc DOHC or are some of them SOHC?

 

There is DOHC, SOHC, and SOHC VTEC.

 

oh and which engines are specifically zc engines?

sorry to whore the thread...

 

how do I tell what my zc is? I know its not VTEC

 

it should say on the engine. just look for it.

 

They say ZC where the engine stamp is. Any idiot can tell a DOHC from a SOHC as DOHC is like twice as big a valve cover. As for VTEC 99% of the time it will say it somewhere on the valve cover if it has it, or perhaps look for the VTEC solenoid, though I have no idea where that is as I've never had a VTEC engine.

 

it doesn't say on it and I am new to this stuff so I need more info on how to tell whether its DOHC or SOHC. thanks

 

DOHC:


If it looks half as wide as that it is SOHC. It will look like a Twinkie with a distrubutor on the side.

 

If it's a sohc and vtec the solenoid will be right behind the dizzy connected to the block right above the intake manifold flange. It should have two connectors on it, a grey one and green one.

 

damn, I only have a SOHC
