lol. Yes, you need to use a gsr head gasket because the b18a will not have holes for the oil to go through.

You need a special headgasket made for an LS/VTEC. Neither the LS nor the GSR headgasket will work. Just so you know you can get an LS/VTEC kit that has most everything you need to do the head swap properly. Good luck!

Here is a site...I am not saying buy from them or anything, but you can get an idea of what you need by looking at it.

The kit on the left offers head studs (which are always a good idea), and the one on the right does not. Good luck!
