I was wondering how to tell what year the head on your motor is? I know it has something to do with those number rite in the middle and in the front. I just forgot which set is the year?

pretty much if you lose track of where the head came from, you'll only be able to tell what OBD it was run with.

well i know there is a way to tell exactly what year the head is by looking at the front of the head there are these 4 little circles in the red area in the pic below.

There are codes on them. For example- B16:

PR3-1 1st gen B16A1 (88-91)
PR3-2 2nd gen B16A2 (99-00 Si)
PR3-3 2nd Gen B16A3 (94-97 Del sol )

I know about those. But there are numbers in 2 figit year I believe that tell you wat year the head is. Its like something like for a 95 model head would show 9/5 and 99 would show 9/9 and so on. Check your head you'll see.
