type R's are suppose to be a bit lighter I think. But not too many people use then since you wont see much of a difference.

the type r ones are thinner and lighter. my brother worked at a machine shop and i remember him saying something about how you shouldn't do valve jobs on type r valves because they're already so thin. If i remember right, they'll fit in a b16 head. you should go ahead and replace them all.

for some reason i was thinking that the b16 and b18c5 valves were seated differently, but im not 100%. mihgt want to double check before you rip the head apart.
