TL-P vs TL-S head
Okay another question here, does anyone know if the head castings are the same on the TL-P and TL-S?
I know the cams, intake manifold, throttle body and some other things are different, but I wonder if the heads themselves are the same. Anyone here know?

Cool, I kind of figured it might be. This is like the B16 head casting is the same as the Type R, but the Type R is ported and polished. I have thoughts of doing something similar when I get the cams...

How can the increased compression ratio on the Type S be explained if the heads are the same?
Putting a "bowl" (machining more from a Type S head) would actually lower the compression ratio.

BTW, the Type S heads are different. If you change the pistons you will have to change the heads. You cannot put type s pistons in a regular TL's heads. Different part numbers. I have physically seen both heads.
