the quickest way just by even glancing at the thing. Just look for the vtec solenoid.

theye're the same but with diferences lol
but yeah, the 1.5 has a pointer on the plastic back peice behind the cam gear to line up the 1.5 cam timimg , and the 1.6 doesnt because you line the other 2 cam gear lines with the top of head surface. i dont know exact specs, but cam profile is diff too.
