Default jdm or usdm ? howto tell which

I have a integra LS block and i was wondering if there is any way to tell if it's a JDM block or USDM block?

also, which ways are the best to tell if it is truly a 30k block...

thanks

There was a jdm b18b and it had a compression ratio of 9.4:1. h:


I believe the blocks are the same so it doesnt matter if its jdm or not.

Are you absolutely sure? Looking on Honda's Japanese website, all the 94+ cars are either 1.6l single cams (ZC family) or 1.8l DOHC VTEC's (B18C family.)

Unless it came out of some funky Japan only car.
