same casting and some have same stamps.
internals are different and the itr has mild port job.
look on the head by the dizzy. if there is a green stripe, its an ITR head. if it's still there.

PR3-4 should be a B16A or ITR head (both are PR3-4) ... the year will be on the head by the ex mani, like little circles with numbers in them .... the first one is the year:

9|9 = 1998 or 1999 model

0|0 = 2000 or 2001 model

I have a b16 vtec head as well. it is also a Pr3-4 but the production date is 1989?? The person i bought it from said it was a CTR head. is this correct? if so is there anything better about it stock than the b16 usdm head?
