New B20VTEC Build - What headgasket company & thickness are recommended?
new to honda tech might be in the right place.
i have a b20b bottom end with b16b pistons and a p73 gsr head that’s been milled .008.the head is built with type r cams.my questions is does/if someone has a similar build anyone have a recommendation on what thickness of a head gasket to use.i’m trying to get away with just a little conservative build and using pump gas. but afraid the compression ratio will end that real quick.not looking for crazy power yet just some decent gains. thanks in advance

Factory Honda B16B pistons do not fit a B20B block... what brand of pistons do you have ? Pistons with domes that big in a long stroke engine will make really big compression... not a conservative build at all. Assuming your head has in fact only been milled .008", you will need to use a head gasket with a thickness of .040" to get things back close to the stock geometry.
