I had someone give me this block and I would like to use it. I have a '98 GSR head laying around also and just wanted to build another motor. What I need to know is what parts will I have to use for this build as far as timing belt,water pump, oil pump,headstuds,HG,ect......?

Here is the list I came up with and please add on if there is something being left out:

B16 Oil & Water Pumps
B16 Timing Belt
B16 HG (with whatever bore I go with)
B16 Head studs?

Will I have to change cam gears to B16's because of the number of teeth?

Anything else that you can add that I left out, please do.

Thanks.

 

so you have built a motor before? I don't understand why your asking these questions if this is true...? or are you just confused about which parts to use because of the GSR head?

are you doing a full build or using stock internals?

if your doing a full build you may want to use aftermarket head studs rather then stock bolts.
dont forget rear main oil seal, cam oil seals, cam oil plug, all your O-rings, intake & exhaust gaskets, oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket, and maybe check out what dowel pins to use for the head, I think they have adaptor dowel pins for b16/LS combo's but not sure about GSR...

good luck!

 

GSR and B16 cam gears are the same. You just put it together like its a b16. The only differences are the combustion chambers, which don't mean anything on assembly and the intake manifold, which if you buy a gasket kit for a b16, you will need to buy a GSR intake manifold gasket because the b16 won't fit.

 

No I'm not doing the build but I am getting all the parts for it. What head studs do I need to use, GSR or B16?

 

b16 head studs

 

actaully you should always buy gsr headstuds they fit the b16.. and basicly can be used on ALL b series...buying b16/LS studs is pointless...when you purchase the gsr it can be resold if needed to any1
