B16 head differences?
Are there any differences between B16A1 and B16A2/ITR heads? I keep hearing about "improvements in oiling." Is this a reason to stay away from the A1 heads? Anything else (besides "tired" valvesprings in an A1 head)?
Thanks

CTR and ITR heads are Ported and polished from factory and have much better valve train, 92+ head other then cams and cam caps are not going to perform much different from 1st gen, in most situations, it is not noticable at all...

Yeah, I knew about the valvetrain/porting/cams...I'm just interested in the differences in the casting itself. You are saying that the A1 heads don't have the cam "bridge," they just have caps like the LS head?
