Thats not a b16 head. It looks like an ls/b20 head.

oh. well i hope the cams help compensate for the lack of vtec. id imagine a b18c or b16 head swap is a headache. espescially for a mechanical simpleton such as my self...

doesn't look like an LS head either to me

LS valve cover looks like this

EDIT: nevermind, looks like there were two different LS valve covers... perhaps an OBD1 version and OBD2 version
