any help is appreciated.

 

just take out the cams, and look.
This subject has been covered already.



I was trying to make the point of talking english on here, not your little ghetto slum ****.

 

and thank you for editing your post... thats much better


ahh no cams now... then check the casting marks. search

 

So basically you got a b16 head with doul valve springs from a ITR? why no cams?

 

it is a type r head. with r springs and retainer. what i have been told.. from a trusty seller..

the b16 cams r from my old motor.

my question is is there markings to tell if it is a type r head...

with no cams .. cams would be 350 = more.. im on a budget

dew mota glad to help you read better .

if im not mistaken .....the type r head should have some green paint by the distributor cam cap......plus it shoud have some mild porting in the intake and exhaust ports near the valve seats....hope this helps

 

under the retainers, you should see yellow paint on the intake valvesprings. the exhaust valvesprings paint should be blue. the intake valve stem in the port should look really thin and you might see that taper looking into the intake port.

Look for factory porting, only near the back of the valve, there is no factory porting at the entrance of the port.

the part where the upper radiator hose goes( can't think of what it's called at the moment) , is angled, pointing towards the driver side headlight. that's a pr3 head. hope that makes sense

 

your best bet is to check to see if you bowls are blended. just look inside the intake side of your head. if the area around the valves is smooth (looks machined) it's a type r head. a regular b16 head will be rough in this area. this is one of the biggest differences between the two heads. other than that they are basically cast from the same mold.

my 96 spec head says pr3-1 on it. i'm not sure what my 98 spec says. i haven't seen it in months.

hope this helps you out.

ive had 2 00 and 01 spec heads. 1 was a ITR the other is a 00 SI head. both had the casting mark pr3-4 on them. also some other guys have posted about the green paint by the distributor, this is true of the ITR head, but it does come off with simple green and or castrol superclean. ur best bet is to look at the valve springs. the other characteristics mentioned would not b seen by a newbie like urself.

 

any picture for good reference......>????

thanks all .. all the makrs makes it a r head...


i am not a noob to cars... nor this site

 

what i meant by newbie is that u personally cant tell the difference between the ITR head and a B16 head. it wasnt a shot at u by any means.
i have a pic of my ITR head but i dont think u can see the green paint in the pic. im lookin at my imagestation pics right now.

u cant see the paint on the head so my pic is worthless.
