I bought this head for my boyfriend. I was told it was a B17. Can anyone please help me to figure out what kind of B series head this is. It would be greatly appreciated as we are building this engine together and this is key information for ordering future parts.

Thanks,
Brianna

It's a obd1 gsr head b17

 

no it's not. b17's still used pr3 heads.

it's a 94-01 gsr head. regardless, all internals are interchangeable between the various b series vtec heads.

 

Sorry but looking at the manufacturing date this looks to be for a 94 model (22/1/1993), and I also think p72 is the code for 94-01 b18c1 gsr head where as pr3 would be for 92-93 b17 gsr (same or very similar as b16 heads).

edit doood beat me to it.

 

doood is correct.

 

^^ This is correct.

The date actually says 93/7 or July 1993.

This is a 1994 model DC2 GSR head since all engine mid-year casting dates are for the next model year vehicle.

IMO the best "designed" B-series head from Honda.

 

yea its a gsr and i agree with the above about being the best although some people dont like the factory intake manifold....

 

Oh my bad I forgot that the b17 was a dif head I just seen the date

 

P72 is Gsr. Very clean very nice job in picking out a really clean head cylinder.

 

What do you think this head is worth? It has been resurfaced, has had a 5 angle valve job, new springs, retainers, valves, valve guide seals, and stage 2 toda cams. I was wondering if I got a good deal on this.

 

if thats all true, which i highly doubt you got stage 2 toda cams as they are marked by A,B, or C. Then probably anywhere from 450-600 in good condition.

 

Around here a good condition stock p72 head is worth around 300-400$. To me, with all the work done on it plus toda cams (assuming they are B), I would pay around 800$.
