What is the different between the b20 gasket and the one that you have??And could someone tell me if this headgasket works well on a ls/vtec setup for drag use??

The gasket you have will work, but the dowel holes will need to be opened up on the opposite side to accept the dowel pin to align the gasket and head. The Golden Eagle gasket has that dowel hole precision machined to be able to accept the dowel on the opposite side. This assures proper alignment of the head, gasket and block for long service life.

Re: LS/VTEC headgasket?? (blackpearlcivic)
Yes. The dowel by itself only allows the head and block to be aligned, but the gasket still needs to have the larger dowel hole in it to allow the dowel to fit through it. The only way to have a true " plug and play " LS/VTEC is to use the Golden Eagle headgasket and dowels.
