i found out something interesting about my engine the other day, could be good, probably bad. i saw crxdan at the crx meetup, and he pointed out to me that i had a different head on my car than what it was supposed supposed to have on it... the car i got all my parts from, was an 88 acura intergra 2dr., so it is and was supposed to be a black top engine, i'm sure the block is, but the head is different.
so the almighty question is, how do i find out what head it is and where is the info located on the head? all i did was drop the engine in and it ran, haven't really done much else to it yet. so i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's a zc head on a blacktop block, but with my luck it probly ain't so...
thanks for any info

Well.......on a 2g ZC, the valve cover bolt pattern is different. The bolts are on th outside, where as the D16A1 are on the inside.

See, this is a Black Top ZC head here.......



I have another picture in my gallery, go to it and go under the "day of purchase" gallery

I know. I am thinking of getting one.

[CRXdan]

He wants to know if its a 1g JDM ZC head or a 86-87 D16a1 Head. Is there any way to distinguish the two without ripping the thing apart?
