no the engine code is only on the block.. the heads will have a separate code indicating the head casting series. examples B18A/B and B20B/Z are PR4 (they use the same head ) B18C1= P72

there is also a series of circles on the left.. the 1st circle indicates the year the head was made. ie 9/8 means it was built in 1998 and was probably used in a 1999 model vehicle.

attached is a type r head (exhaust side) for illustration.

if you've got a old, dirty head all these things might camouflaged
