I recently traded my b16 head for a gsr and when I got home and took a better look at it I noticed what looks to be a crack or chip in part of the internal casting. I could just be over thorough about this, but just want to make sure its not going to be a problem down the line, everything else on the head appears to be fine.

 

It's hard to see in those pics but where is the crack?

 

If ur talking about that hole thats normal..

 

Its on the VTEC solenoid side of the head, I doubt it really does anything or affects the heads performance or whatever, just want to be sure.

 

Im talking about the part of the casting where it looks like something has been chipped, or possibly cracked, sorry for the crappy pics.

 

That is absolutely normall. i have the same holes on my gsr head and i was triiping ***** first time i saw them to
nothing to worry about.

 

Alright, I didnt think it was a problem, just wanted to be sure, thanks for the help

 

Heres a pic of my b16 head so u wont have any toughts about it lol

Have fun

What are you going to use it for..?

 

Thanks for the peace of mind lol. Im probably going to do a mild ls/vtec build, ls crank/rods in gsr block pr3's or p30's and type r cams and valvetrain, nothing real special, or I have an entire type r rotating assembly that came with the block that I might use, but leaning more towards the ls/vtec, like the extra torque

 

Yup yup its all about that torque
Im currently gathering parts for an b20v
Already have the head and b20b block. Still need some parts and then gonna start assembling it. Meanwhile ima use the b16 head on my b18c1 block and make it a poor mans type r since it had itr pistons in there already with ctr cams.
Have fun

 

Nice

 

its just casting slag. Nothing to worry about

 

isnt that the oil hole for da vtack??
