Stupid noob question, but Search did not answer it...
 

Hello All,
I just purchased a complete B16B swap. I want to give it a little refresh before it goes in my '91 CRX Si. Is it B18 seals and gaskets for the block, and B16 for everything else? Isn't that what makes the B special, that it's basically a de-stroked B18 seeing as it has a B18 block? Or am I wrong and all B -whatever gaskets are the same. I did try the search function, but my question was not specifically answered.

Thanks,

Chris

Beyond the obvious crankshaft, rods and pistons... with the exception of the oil pump, the USDM engine that is most comparable to the JDM B16B would be the 2001 Integra Type R. There are limited differences between "B" series gaskets and o-rings, however, using the '01 ITR will get you what you need every time without fail. This would also include the water pump, tensioner, distributor, intake manifold and timing belt.
