Default Difference between rs1600i and normal cvh head ?

I know that there is quite a few but just wondering exactly what as someone has asked me to get prices and availability on rappers for a 16i and reckons they are the same as the 3i when I'm positive they aren't.

Please correct me if I'm wrong folks.

and they also have i higher lift camshaft. I'm have thought normal hydraulic lifters will be fine. Only reason the 16i's were different was for higher revving engines . You can also get anti pump lifters to help with higher lifting camshaft engines
