if the block says b16A with no numbers after the A then its a JDM motor...as for plugs ngk R plugs are the best and there very cheap
your motor for that year did not come in the states. it came in civic/crxs siRs in japan and most other countries around the world. it also cam in the civic VTI in europe i believe. regardless. any b16 part will work on it. as will most other b series parts. when you go buy plugs and shit. just tell the dude behind the counter that its for a 99-00 civic si (usa)
its a jdm motor if you look on the head just above the exhaust manifold the the left it will give you the year of the car it came from. it will just have the last two digits like 88,89,90,ect.....

He gave numbers, none of them sound like years.

i dunno why he needs to know anyways, the B16s all are interchangable like a mofo with any other B series :dunno:
