Re: cylinder head???

look at the front of the head for the head code and year. also if it doesn't have a vtec solenoid on the back of the head you guessed it a non-vtec head.

i just looked at the front of the head and it read p2j-7 and then to the far right said 95 and also on the back it seemed like there was a solenoid missing might be vtec

Re: cylinder head???

Yes and Yes it does matter, different thicknesses in the headgaskets raise or lower your Compression Rating.
