Alright just got engine back from the builder, I had a bad experience with a piece of human **** named Rob Cardona, he's a ******* piece of **** who fucked me out of $3600 and I think during my engine rebuild after he totally butchered my car he probably stole my Integra Type-R head after he closed down his **** hole shop and skipped town. Well I need pictures of an ITR cylinder heads casting numbers to verify that my head is the same and it doesn't look the same as when it went to his shop. If anyone finds Rob Cardona let me know, he's a total piece of **** and he owes well over $100,000.00 here in Indiana. Needless to say he's quite wanted. Someone just get me some pics of an Integra Type-R's casting numbers, I could almost swear my head said P73 on it on the exhaust side before it went to his shop over a year and a half ago, and I just got the engine back and all i see is PR3. SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!!!!!

 

what part of indiana is rob cardona from? Im from northern indiana. by the michigan line. ill watch for the ******.

 

He's not in Indiana anymore, he's jumping around on the NOPI tour, heard he was working with Team L'Natural. He's a complete piece of **** though. He was here on the southside of Indy.

 

It actually says PR3-4 on the right side of the head on the exhaust side...this is ITR correct?

 

i;m prettysure itr heads are stamped PR3, same as a b16 head i think

 

ITR heads are stamped PR3-3 or PR3-4

just check the intake ports by the bowl area to see if the factory polish is still there

 

Head is stamped PR3-4, but the head is on the block with everything but the exhaust header bolted on for good. She's almost ready.

 

is there green paint near where the distributor is mounted?

 

Nah the head was all re painted and **** but it says PR3-4 right over the #2 runner on the header. I'm sure its my cylinder head.

ITR heads can be ANY PR3 casting.

For example, my '97 ITR motor has a PR3-1 casting, and my JDM ITR motor has a PR3-4.

TJ - if you examine the front side of the cylinder head, the casting number should begin with PR3 and end with any number 1-4. If the head has never been hot tanked or steam cleaned it might still have the factory identifying paint behind the distributor, which is a light green paint. Otherwise you can take a bunch of brake cleaner and hose out the intake ports (exhaust ports would probably be thick of carbon) and about 1" inside the port, there should be a pretty distinct change where the factory porting was done.

Good luck,
Marshall

 

measure a regular b16 valve stem width then measure the valve stem width of the head that u have.....the type r intakes have narrower stems near the face....
