GSR is DOHC bro, there is no way you will get a DOHC head on a SOHC block. Just buy the LS block and do a ls/vtec. thats just my .02cents

Hmm I've never actually tried running rods at the same time as pistons so I don't have a good answer for you

Re: Can I put a GSR head on my SOHC Civix DX turbo project (falcongsr)

The only time I did it I used the JB weld in lieu of the head gasket. I admit i did add a few bungee cords to hold the head on while the JB weld was drying (I was eager to drive the car).

I think you should straight weld the head to the block. And just have some fat chick sit on the head just in case.

You need to get one of those JDM head gasket adapter thing-a-ma-jiggers.

fiberglass seems to work good for me. it can also be smoothed out and painted.
jb weld is a bit too strong for my liking. after all, its not a show car.
