    I have a 1996 Honda Civic 1.6 bought in the Philippines with a damaged engine block.

    My mechanic only has two available engines:

    A. 1.5 VTEC
    B. 1.6 Non-VTEC

    Both are imports from Japan and have complete documents. Which one is the best to use to replace my existing one.

    Thank you.
