Default 90-92 vs 93 b18a1 valve lash

so i have a B18a1 in my car, i am not sure if it is from a 90-92 or 93
i have heard multiple times the valve lash is slightly different from those years.
Q how would i go about determining which lash specs to go by, what marks on the head?
pics, suggestions, comments all welcome!

From the service book valve lash adjustment doesnt seem to be different.. Enjoy.

once again at it again, figured i would switch to head studs rather then bolts
only issue was the camshaft cap bolts one snapped and another twisted like a vine.
4$ and 30 minutes later
