Default Swapping JDM for USDM H22 head...

I blew the head on my '92 JDM H22 motor

i know a guy selling a head from a '01 USDM H22A1

can i straight up swap these heads? are there any differences between the new/old heads? or between JDM/USDM??

thanks guys!

How did you just blow your head?? Why not just replace the gasket?? You overheat and the head warp?? Bent valves??

My head is in bad shape but i'm going to fix it. my belt slipped and i bent a few valves but i have too much $$ in the head to get another.

my auto-tensioner let go, literally smoked my timing belt... when i popped off the valve cover there was melted bits of belt everywhere

and i can get the whole USDM H22 for cheaper than it would cost to replace valves and get the head checked (check my valve guides, etc)

i just pray to god that i didn't mess up my pistons
