GE would be your only option. i would avoid cometic all together.

i don't think a OEM B20 gasket will work on a vtec block. it will block the oil passage to feed the vtec solenoid and some coolant passages.

b20 headgasket will not work as the dowel pin holes are not big enough

cometics just dont have good luck with honda motors, i have always run oem honda and have NEVER blown a headgasket , if someone does blow an oem gasket it has to due with the tune or something wrong with the cooling system
