It should have casting stamps on damn near everything. Head, block, power steering pump and brackets. It should be stamped p72 all over it.

You can tell just by looking at the intake manifold for gsr's. and just look for the vtec solenoid and if it has it, then aleast its a vtec motor.
GoodLuck

Default Re: Identifying an engine? (lilracer316)

ok it has p72 on the head , also has the big sort of intake mani which i think .... is gsr? yea its defo a v-tec. but still not sure on the block as arent the b16 heads interchangable? i got it as a kit so if it is a gsr wht ecu would come with this, its say's on the back p9k? if tht means anything and also "made in britain" which makes me think it could well be a uk spec motor? but i think i'am rite in saying tht if it is a gsr it would have the engine code stamped as b18c? or c1?
