I just got information from my friend and he said it is not Type R ( miss communication ) - I say sorry on behalf of him, but the Head comes with RED TOP, and this is a Limited Item from Japan.... Do you think Japanese driver will paint the valve cover ? In their country the original valve cover is much more cheaper than here, why they want to re-paint the valve cover. At last we know that this is not a Type R, but Originally the valve cover is in Red. I'm not planing to give wrong information here, as this is a business. If you guys not believe on my words, you can come and view the item and check whatever you want to check... PM me for the location. Thanks
