Whats the difference between the b18a/b head gasket and the b18c1? ie whats the difference between the vtec one and the non vtec one?

 

The location of the dowel pins is different and the VTEC gasket has a port for the oil flow to the head for the VTEC system.

 

so could you use a nonvtec gasket on a vtec motor if you drilled out an oil hole?

 

doubtfully.

they're not much anyways, don't mess around with something like that.

 

WHY BOTHER
A headgasket is very important wouldnt you want one for your car and not cheap out on it ???????????????????? seriously like $100 bucks tops.............

 

not even 100$ its just a matter of cometic sending the imporper one

 

Did you try getting it replaced/refunded?

Closer to 40-50 for an oem one then 100 though.

 

its at a shop being worked on, i will just have them send it back and get a new one, i am just tired of delays for damn parts! and i figuerd if it were only a hole for oil they could just drill it, but better be safe than sorry
