Pull the rockers and stands off. Look under where the stands sit and if there is a little battery looking casting they are the Castech heads. Looks like a AA battery sort of.

I'm a newb also.

Post #11 states that they are, and several other post in this thread suggest that some 862 heads are not of the highest quality.
