I just receive mine a couple of weeks ago and they CNC machine 'PRC' on the top front corners of the heads and 'STAGE 2.5' on the top rear corners.. Then across the bottom, where the head meets the block, they CNC machine 'PRECISION RACE COMPONENTS CNC PORTED CYLINDER HEADS'. Plus some odds and ends CNC milled, like s/n and other numbers that didnt mean anything to me... If it aint got that, it aint the real thing!

That's a reasonable request, IMO!

Like stated, they haven't always had the engravings to ensure they are the PRC heads, so be careful.
