Cylinder Head Identification
Hello every,
My question is about a cylinder head in my 01 h22a4 VTEC base type. The previous owner told me that there is an "Atlantiz" Cylinder Head on the car (anybody ever heard of one???). I can't find any information what so ever on "Atlantiz" Heads. I've done lots of research and the closest thing to an "Atlantiz" head I found was an "Formula Atlantic"/"Atlantic" cylinder head (But this company seems to do mainly Toyota). My question is....How can I tell if I have an after market head without having to take the damn engine apart. Apparently the head was $1800 and the company port & polished it, 3-point angle job, Titanium valve springs and retainers. Sounds legit but I can't see all that from looking at it without taking it apart. BUT I clearly see a P13 stamp on the front, That screams stock to me but I've never had a head sent off to be done so I don't know if the company just took my head and did all the above work to it. Does that make any sense?
