DOHC or SOHC?
 

OK i know nothing cause I am new...but how do you figure out whether a VTEC is DOHC or SOHC?...is there even a DOHC VTEC for 96 Accords?..answer would be greatly appreciated hah

Its a SOHC. Among many differences, the DOHC says 'DOHC' on the valve cover. There aren't any DOHC Accords stock in the US., but you can swap a H22A DOHC prelude engine directly in.

Thanks alot man you saved me from going crazy..no one knew in my school..loozers........yeah thanks

Re: thanks
 

Hehe, no problem.

Are you sure????? about no dohc stock here. I though a while back like ether a 5th gen or a 4th gen came witha dohc engine stock. they called it a type r or si.????? maybe im wrong but I thought it was in limited production. i know that they make a DOHC f22(JDM). Its like 160 hp and 150 tq. that be neat plus its pretty cheap to buy like less than 1000 for it. hmmmm sounds alike a good idea if I can locate one. Just sucks to have to make my header custom fit it. hehe oh well.

I thought Accord Type R's were only in Europe....not sure though either

yeah the type r's came with the h22a7 (prelude) engine, bu they were available only in europe. Also the 5th gen Accord sir had a f20b engine a destroked prelude engine

I said in the US. There was an Accord with the DOHC f20b like Stefan said. Not sold in the US though.
