Hi

Here's my problem..

I have an a20a2 engine in my -88 accord ex (carbed), but i also have a remanufactured and flowed cylinder head originally taken from a -87 parts car.

Are there any differences in these heads, because the local parts store has different top end gasket sets for the year -87 and -88. The parts store doesnt know anything...

Which one should I buy?! Is there any difference?

Thanks!

the only diff in distributor cap is because you probably have tech distributor vs. Hitachi distributor.

The upper distributor bracket is different between the EFI and carbed engines. However, the bracket is swapable.

I have exactly the same kind of engine as in the pictures above (same cap too). I only have those ugly headlights..
