No valve cover, just the head itself minus cams.

 

green marking on back left corner, itr valvesprings will have yellow marks on intake springs and blue on exhaust...

 

Thanks, anyone have pics of this green marking?

 

That faded green mark is it?

 

What about a brand new head from Acura?

Why do people say this? They're NOT always brand new. Mine sure as hell isn't. Neither is anyone elses I've seen with a green mark.

 

I've seen some with green and some without. It just comes off over time.

 

Cross reference the casting numbers and serial number that is on the exhaust side of the head with info from Honda. I have a Japanese parts CD-ROM if you need help.

 

mine doesnt have green mark...

EDIT: i kant speel

the itr valve springs are much thicker than all the others

What do you mean? The heads are always brand new. The Transmission and Block are remanufactured.

 

Mine is green

 

 

I think you can tell the difference between a sharpie and the paint that is on the head.

 

Look into the intake ports. OEM ITR valves have thin stems.

 

ITR Valve springs are not thicker. ITR Exhaust Valve Springs are GSR Intake Valve Springs that they move to the exhaust. Part numbers are indentical.
