We just got a 92 civic dx and had to replace the cylinder head. bought one of ebay but it didn't fit and now i'm trying to figure out what this head does go on since the guy says its the right one. I found some markings on it: "p2a-8" and "603060024" and "96" I have been searching all night but haven't been able to figure this out. I'm guessing the p2a-8 is the casting and the 96 maybe the year it was manufactured? but i dunno if the other number is the serial number or what. Even called honda on this one but no help there. if anyone knows please help. if you want to see a picture check out ebay item number 220024049284.


*ok i've been looking around and since the guys swears it came off a 92-95 civic does it look to you guys that it was from a vtech?

the yea of the head will be stamped on the head above the exhaust ports.. probably obd2

 

ok so the 96 is the year? sorry if i seem silly, just a chick tryin to figure this **** out....but that helps.....what's obd2 tho?

 

96-00 civic is obd2./. if it says 96 then yes its from a 96

 

thanks alot, now i just have to get some kind of documented proof to get my money back, or sell it myself....paid like $170 for the damn thing...

 

ODB is on board diagnostics. Bunch of sensors to regulate emissions, basically. You can mix parts with diff OBDs because some use different sensors than others. I mean you can, but its much easier to just get the right OBD. Good luck!

 

170...i had no idea they went for that much....
i think i have a couple i need to throw on ebay....

 

looks like a d16y7 head to me

96 = OBD2
non-vtec with spark plug holes on the front side

Yep, no vtec. It would have three lifters on one side. (intake side I think?)
