Liter and Valves have nothing to do with each other at all. 1.5 is the displacement, and 16 is the number of intake (8 each, 2 for each cylinder) and exhaust (8 each, 2 for each cylinder) valves.
My friend has a '97 VW Golf and he has a 2.0 liter engine but only 8 valves.

Couldn't you just look at the intake manifold and see if it is 1.5 or 1.6? I know the 1.5s have DPFI, with the black intake, and the 1.6 has MPFI with the silver intake. Am I not right here?

If it looks just like that, then it is a D15 1.5 liter.
Here is a pic of it with an intake on it http://www.geocities.com/twisted91civic/stage2.htm Travis, I thought the D15 had at least 90 something hp. Or is that just claimed hp?

There was the D15B2 in the DX which had 92hp, and the STD had a D15__ that made 70hp.

alright, what is the difference in the STD and DX? I know they made some that came stock with painted bumpers, cloth seats, and a few other little things. Mine has all of the extras on it, so I don't think it is a STD.
