Is VTEC always stamped in to the valve cover to identify a VTEC engine? I'm looking at a 1995 Accord LX Sedan, 4 cylinder but not sure if it's a VTEC or not. (The VTEC logo isn't stamped into the valve cover.) thanks, Tom

Double check by the number stamped on the engine. It should be F22B2 for tne non-VTEC.
The EX version is VTEC, and should have F22B1 stamped on it.
When the engine is VTEC, you're right that "VTEC" is stamped on the valve cover.
(At least one online parts site, Majestic, doesn't have an accurate drawing of the valve cover of th LX, incorrectly showing VTEC stamped on it. The valve cover part numbers are different for the EX and LX, though. Not the first time I've seen little inaccuracies in its parts drawings.)
