I have a 91 honda civic lx and am trying to figure out if it is a 1.5
or a 1.6 liter engine. I have the manual but didn't see it listed. Can
someone tell me how to check this

Look under the hood for the emissions sticker. It will list engine size
there.

This would be a very nice test of your measuring technique and
calculating.
You could remove the cylinder hear and select any cylinder. Move the
piston to the highest position and mark the wall. Then move it to the
lowest position and measure the distance traveled. Now go to your desk
and compute the volume and multiply by the number of cylinders and you
are there. Use a metric ruler to save conversion errors. Have the kids
help as a learning tool.
Replace everything as it was with new gaskets. Easter break would be a
good time for the project. Rejoice.

Hey, 'itsallgood'. While preparing for the rejoicing, one must bear in
mind one caveat: What if that cylinder chosen had been bored to a
substantial oversize???? Result may then be more "limited rejoicing". s
(FYI, "clifftishman@gmail.com", "itsallgood" and I are making an attempt at
facetious bull-shooting--yep, "....-shOOting". s)
