In your first post on price, I mentioned to pop the valve cover and make sure it has three lobes on the intake and exhaust cams, that will give you the answer you are looking for.

The cylinder head should have a casting number near the middle just below the valve cover... front or back, maybe both. If it says RBB, then you are good.

The RAA block stamp is indicative of two JDM engines, the CL9 Accord or the Odyssey. Both utilize the 3 lobe design. RBB head cast is a sure sign you are getting one type of the good (3 lobe vtec) K24A. The earlier versions were like the 04-05 TSX and the updated version is like the better 06-08 TSX. Both engines use the slightly less aggressive 04-05 TSX cams.
I would be leery if he wont let you pull the valve cover off.
Good luck!
