Just get a CRV headgasket. If you ever measure the stock B16 gasket with the bore of the cylinder you will notice about .40 mm of a difference. So overall the headgasket bore is a bit bigger. so A CRV gasket is 84mm which should be perfect.

Except for the fact that you will have a huge oil leak from where the oil feeds the vtec through the block. You have to use a vtec gasket
