refering to pic 1, this head is claimed to be a type r head. its on top of b16b block. n produced in 97. but it doesnt look like normal type r head which got 3 - square box - like pic 2.

or maybe earlier production (96-98) type r head dun have that square box?
anyone here can confirm?

there will be a green marking on top near the distributor. and the yellow/blue markings on the valve springs. if u cant see the inner portion, the best would be the distributor markings.

those pix u have shown are just the date and year of the head being manufactured.

since type-r do come in 1996.1997,1998,1999 and 2000..theres a fair chance the 97 head is a type-r

if your pnp a b16a head, is it as good as a b16b head? or is there another advantage?

if i'm not mistaken, B16B heads are manually PnP'ed over at Honda. yes, you can get almost the same results from PnP'ing a standard B16A head, but u have to know the exact calculations lah, like how many inches are ported away from the valve guide ke, 3 angle valve cut bnyk mana angle and how much, intake / exhaust manifold open port bnyk mana / angle changed or not etc. and don't forget, diff cams, diff requirements. so if you intend to change cams later on, make sure either u have a spare, unported head or the ported head is for general cams usage lah. then have to check whether the piston heads have to be modified ( if the cams got longer duration, might push the valves a wee bit more than standard! ) for safe clearance, takut valves bang piston head lak. i don't know much, and yet, i could be wrong! :shcokedcamo:
