I'm running the B16 Timing Belt - Hight Performance Blue (GATES) got it for Orileys nothing special really just a bit thicker and more expensive than the reg. but you can look at it and simply see its a better belt



Any one know what the Comp. Ratio is on the motor ?

You always match the bolts/studs to the block you're using. B18 studs would be to long and cause sealing issues.

I would go ahead and get a new gasket if your gonna replace the head studs or bolts which ever one use choose to use ... but if you take the head off and look at it and it seems to you it's good it's really up to what you wanna do but i hate to re-use head gaskets

NO, it's a B16a block, GSR (B18C) head bolts or studs will be too long.

In my opinion . Do as my boy did . He had a b16 in his eg . He blew the head , he got a gsr head he was going to put on the b6 bottumm ,,, he ended up selling the block and buying a b20 bottum end with a lsvtec kit and he threw the gsr head on the b20 and used his b16 trannny and loved it . He used a skunk 2 manifold with CTR internals and the thing hammmerd :-D
