Default Difference between D16Y8 and D16Z6 head

Ok guys well I'm going to probably buy a 97 D16Y8 head and want to make sure it's actually the Y8 head. Is there something that I should look for to help me determine the heads apart? Also what should I look for to tell if it's in good shape?
Thanks guy

If you get the valve cover with the head the D16Z6 will have VTEC written on it, the other valve head just has honda.

So it should literally be square down there, as opposed to round??
