not all PR3 heads are ITR heads. they could be B16 and what not.

Post pictures of where the valve seats are pressed into the aluminum head on the runner side, not the chamber side.

Take a brake clean and wipe the intake ports if its got a fairly smooth surface then its an ITR since they came factory port n polish
if it looks rough then probly b16 head
Also check n see if its got dual valve springs
