I recently bought an integra type r head and was wondering how I can ensure its the real deal? It does not have any valvtrain whatsoever. The head is stamped pr3-3 and the year of it is 99.

How can i tell?

THanks in advance

 

Look for green paint near the distributor area on the intake side of the head. Also shine a light down into one of the ports and if the area near the valve surface looks like it's been machined, then it's a real R head.

 

i really hope u got the camcaps with the head otherwise its just a paperweight

 

I do not have the cam caps. Would b16 cam caps work? Is there any other way of identifying the head to be itr?

 

with out the original cam caps... the head is worthless.
