beta 1 uses HLA aka: Hydrolic lifter that main a 0 lash and less noise
beta 2, uses sold tap lifter " the choice of many shops" better high rpm response
Less valve float. and both heads are interchangeable. i am current useing a beta 1 block and a beta 2 head. no problem what so ever.. late i got to check my clearance due to the fact that i use shim.

Kenny, might wanna search around a bit next time, this has been answered before.

Sparticus, how about adding it to the FAQ?

This should be in our FAQ

but either way, beta1 was used in 1996-2001 tiburons, beta2 was used in 2003-current 4 cyl tburons, also beta 1 was used in 1998-2000 Elantras and beta2 is used in 2001-2003 elantas.

Redz, you read my mind about FAQ.
