    the motor was proabably swapped out to be sold, or it blew up. if the block says B18A or B18B it is an LS, if it says B18C it is a GSR, if it says B18A/B but DOHC VTEC ont eh valve cover, it is an LS/VTEC. if it has the vtec computer on an LS it will have CEL's for all kinds of good stuff like vtec solenoid and knock sensor. it will not be as fast as a GSR if it is in fact an LS due to it being from the lower trim model anyways.
    Ok, I looked yesterday and found it's a B18B1 block. It's aVTEC Head. It all seems to work fine but it does idle funny when it's cold. The RPMS jump for a few minutes unti lit warms up. The car runs good but I don't think it acts like a GSR should being that it's a LS.

    ok, that means you have an LS/VTEC. Very common swap. What's the head stamp say?

    Head Stamp says PR4-2.. What is that? Is it the LS Head? Isn't the GSR head P72?
