As simple as taking your b16a cover off and putting on the type-r one. I would change the valve cover gasket while you are changing the cover.

what is that site that has the cr calculator where it gives you all the options of different parts instead of you having to fillin your own. what would be the cr of a b16 with ctr head and pistons?

.. it's kinda hard.
You'll have to shorten your exhaust bearings a schoshe, then re-thread the valve cover nuts along with a Type-R valvecover gasket kit. Total cost of doing this swap is about $200. eegads....all for the price of 'type-Rism'...
