cause they have this thing called HONDA OF AMERICA.....im sure you know all hondas and honda engines are not made solely in japan, that may be where there designed and what not, but his criteria was american motor, so that would fall under his criteria i guess......

For a civic if the Vin starts with a 1 it was made in USA if it starts with a J it was made in Japan. And no mater what motor it is it will not have a number after the letter. IE: USDM B18C1 JDM B18C.
