i'm looking on buying some R valvesprings, is there anyway i can make sure i'm getting the real thing and not some b16, or b18c1 springs?

 

yes, both intake and exhaust are dual springs...

 

are the b18c5 and b16b the only motors that come w/ dual springs?

 

on the exhaust side, yes... but all Bseries VTEC's have dual intake valve springs...

 

ok, another question...is there any way to make sure the intake springs are the itr, and not soem regular *** b16 springs? on top of that, how cam i really identify the cams and make sure they are the year 2000 jspec cams and not some usdm or 96-99 cams? i'm pretty sure on the jspec cam it was actually the ctr cam, giving it more lift n' duration

 

The ITR outer intake springs have yellow paint on them.

The ITR outer exhaust springs have blue paint on them.

 

well, these are used springs...so odds are the paint is off. any other way?

naw you should see a trace of paint on there

 

naw, you'll see the paint there, just look carefully... intake = gold, exhaust = blue.
