B20B with a LS head help
Hello my 97 CRV had a bad head and the only head I could find locally was a LS head. I just finished removing the stock head and before I try and get this thing back together I had a few questions. The LS head came without cams and rockers, so should I do the valve adjustment per B20 specs or B18B specs? Another question, are the head bolts and timing belt the same for each? I do not wanna put a B20 head back on the crv is I can help it. I read there is an issue with the b20 head if you do not complete a valve adjustment every 30k you could bend the valves. This is what happened to me. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Oh also where is a good place to get head bolts? The dealer quote was very high and local part stores do not carry them.

Re: B20B with a LS head help
you can re-use the OEM head bolts. Ive used OEM head bolts twice with no head lift/head gasket failure. Especially in your case since your motor is stock and im guessing you dont mash on it. Use whatever spec for whatever cams your using. i know b20 and LS cams are identical but just to be on the safe side.
