Default LS VTEC headgasket?

I have a 2000 GSR Integra, with a B18a/b block that has been bored to a 2.0 liter and running B20 pistons. What headgasket would I get? Any help would be appreciated much. I tried searching a little but couldn't figure out the problem myself.

Bam! If your running B20 Pistons then you obviously have b20 bore, so B20 VTEC headgasket. 84mm Cometic would pull a premium before race wars. Why you would bore a b18 to run B20 pistons is beyond me.

Please tell me the block is sleeved! The only reason Im thinking it's not is because you're using B20 pistons instead of aftermarket ones. I'm not even sure you can bore a stock b18 block to 84mm. Anyway you would wanna use the B20 headgasket.

All b series blocks are the same... Just with different bores and what not.

^ I think you're wrong. A B16 block is shorter than the B18 and a B20 has a larger 84mm bore but the stock sleeves are not the same as a B18. I've never heard of anyone boring a Stock B18 block over 82mm. The clyinder walls become too thin and weak.

Oh wow, i didnt know that. Thats some good info. Yeah ive also never heard of anyone going over 82 either. So why would anyone bore a b18 to rock b20 pistons, The walls would be retarded thin.
