Icon2 Need help identifying head

I Bought this 95 dx and when I inspected further I noticed the vetch, But it has the D16Y7 block, The head on the other hand I can't figure out. On the left side next to the dizzy is has a J 5 and the front of the head has four square casting marks the first two have Japanese markings and then in the middle is has P2J-5 and 97 on the right. I took off the valve cover and it has 5 imprinted in various places. I'm going to try to upload some pics. If anyone can clarify if its just a minime swap or a diff head?

Not sure about this, I've never seen this before. Seems sketchy to me and doesn't look right. I doubt this is from japan.

I've heard of swapping heads to a diff block but never seen the numbers. Hmm interesting.

Thanks everyone, I thought it was just a Y7/Y8 swap, but I was just curious about the head codes and the casting symbols.

Here are somemore pics of the head w/o the valve cover. I figured it's a D16Y5, yes they made Y5's, but it's from a 97. I just know what 97 block it came off of or the car it was in. It's gotta be JDM, I can only find a little info on it using USDM searching. But I did find out some models they did use the car in but the wrong year. here's the pics on the LMH it says EX on the drivers side and YSK circled and 1B next to it. Also there Are more imprints of 5 inside the valve train.

P2J-5 can either be a Y5, or a Y8 head - they both have the same casting. The only easily noticeable difference is the rocker arms. The Y5 has roller rockers, the Y8 does not. It's that simple.

Post CLEAR pictures of the rockers, if you aren't sure what you're looking for.
