b18a1-b18b1 head swap question
sup H-T I have 90 crx si with a 90 b18a1 obd-0 swap. Here my problem I noticed i was leaking oil from between my head and block. I decided to replace the head gasket went to take off the bolts that hold down the camshafts and most of them broke. I have a spare 96 b18b1 head I wanna use since my friends say its better then the 90 b18a1. i have a head gasket kit from my old 92 Integra. Would the headgasket,and vavle stem seals from my 92 fit the 96 b18b1 head???? any help appreciated

internal wise, they are the same.
the headgasket i believe is also the same.
if you wanna use the 96 head, change over all the obd0 parts.
dizzy, manifold, etc.

Re: b18a1-b18b1 head swap question
I just got done with swapping heads used the old obd-0 dizzy, IM ,etc on the 96 b18b1 head started right up but sound like sh*t. The rpm are staying at about 2k rpm at idle. I moved the dizzy back and fourth, I also messed with the idel screw on the TB. which got the idle down to 1100rpm but ran really bad and it also back fires. my girlfriend says it sound like a slug bug now . If my timing was off by a little could that be the cause of my problem??

I agree with turbohatchbnuts valve lash should take care of your problem, also spray some carb cleaner around IM gasket area along with injector area, and check for any vacuum leaks.
