EF CVCC Motor 1976 - 1978

1976 - 1978 Honda Accords used a 1600cc CVCC (compound vortex controlled combustion) engine. The engine is identified as an EF1-XXXXXXX as stamped on the block. If the motor has EF-XXXXXXX stamped on the block, this indicates the motor was originally installed in a car sold to the Japanese market. These motors find their way into the US when they are imported from Japan to be used as replacements.
