is this a type r head? at first i thought it was a b16a2 head , but when i bought a exhaust manifold gasket for it, it wouldnt fit. when i bought the gsr or type r gasket for it, it fits.

 

I'll be nice since you're local...

Have you tried searching?

 

yeah i search, but everyone say its hard to tell since b16 and type r share the same code. the valves springs been replace so i cant tell from there.

So what makes your question any different?

 

i read every posts about pr3. theres no specific post that can identify itr head

 

apart from the factory port and polish on the ITR head, they're the same

 

that just looks port and polished, and .....some of the valvetrain is missing?<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by tartje &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">apart from the factory port and polish on the ITR head, they're the same</TD></TR></TABLE> and the valves and valve train

 

the valves don't tell him whether the head is from an ITR or not. how does the purchaser know the seller hasn't just put ITR valves in it and is palming off a B16 head?

 

Try to bolt up either a B16/ITR intake manifold ot a GSR intake manifold. That should answer your question.

 

PR3 is the B16/Type R code. It was made in 98 so it could have been on either the 98 Type R or the 99 Civic SI. Most likely they are made the year before so my guess it is B16 SI.

Has it been ported? or is it rough in the ports and only the intake side by the valve stem/guide been smoothed out. If so then possible Type R.

Can you see green paint over by the dizzy mount?

If it is a B16 head and has been ported and polished then who cares. The LMA's would be the closest thing to a difference and the combustion chamber.

the b16 intake manifold fits fine.

i dont see any green paint over by the dizzy , but there is a green paint behind the head

 

PR3-3 or PR3-4 can be R.

P30 should be stamped on the the portion next to the Dizzy mount. The intake ports should be polished.

If this is done, then you're good.

thanks for the info. i dont see the p30 stamped but i do see 30 stamped

 

im going to purchase a type r motor but im not sure if it really is a type r or not does it have a certain number im not sure i dont really know all about the motor numbers

 

Uhhh why did you reply to a 1.75 year old thread with a new question?

 

Almost 3 years later. Ppl are still wondering if it a R or not.
It's a security thing.. we need help knowing the true facts and not b.s.

From what I know. Green paint on the dizzy mount
P30 are b16 and type R stamps for the factory just dual valve springs,and yes the intake manifold fits the b16 heads also, the head gaskets are the same.
