if you build a b20/vtec use a b20 headgasket(84mm) for the ls/vtec use ls head gasket(81mm). the head is your option. most people use the b16/or b18c5 because of the intake manifold. no iabs to activate as with using a gsr head.

^^ wow you really are a noob. You cant just run a factory b20 headgasket. When you use a b20 block you need the vtec dowel pins, you also need a modified b20 headgasket to accomidate for the pins. Golden eagle sells them for about 80 bucks I think.
