Ok guys so I recently got a supposing b18c type r in my civic ex.. I'm pretty sure it's legit, need some other opinions though from people more experienced than me.. it is a jdm block for sure (b18c) the serial number is 19xxxx which was 96 spec r so that checks out. Intake manifold is type r that checks out. Running a p73-003 ecu (96 spec r).. oil cooler on rear of block. Here's my concerns. The head is a pr3-2 but is stamped as a 91.. could this be just the year the it was cast then stored and used in 96 to build the type r. I've never opened it up too look at the springs for coloration. Vtec kicks at 5700 if that means anything. Car runs exceptional either way I just want too know for sure.. will post pics
