Look on the side of the head near the rear exhaust port. It should have PI cast into the head.

yeah i looked yesterday in the light where i could finally see good and all i saw was f7. so im assuming that theyre still the 97 casting. oh well ill probably part the motor out because i couldnt see anyone wanting non pi heads when u can get pi heads with cams for 450.

No such thing as a 5.4 PI head.
