I have B18b Block using a PR3 B16 Head. I purchased the Golden Eagle dowels. After reading Golden Eagle's posts, I heard they use P30 gaskets so I figured I could use my Spoon 2 Ply gasket. This is what it looks like on the block. Is this ok or will this not work? It was said to use copper spray and the P30. I'm citing my information off of this post.. https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=2
Here are some pictures, anyone?

This is how it is when building LS/B20/VTEC engines. We did some mechanical job for block oil channels, correct them for head gasket. Those are oil back channels.

i thought you were suppose to use the ls head gaskets?

Combustion Contraption

I was under this assumption and im the 3rd LS hg with my build to do headwork, cam swaps, etc. etc.

That's how they are if you use the p30 it lines up to the head and not the block and if LS is used it lines up to the block but not the head either way it will never be perfect.

I would just use the p30.

i've had 3 ls/vtec motors you have to use a ls head gasket and the dowel pins are suppose to be in the back of the block not the front

like what dragline said.. either way it won't be perfect... i believe you can use either one.. i use the GE gasket, if i remember correctly it was a p72 head gasket with the dowel pin holes reamed a lil.. works for me...

Here is the pic how my friends B20 block was made for P30 head gasket (in pick Spoon B16 head gasket). This is Estonian job from ARTMAN-Racing. They have more than 15 years of experience of racing engine building:
