y0, im helping out a friend do a B20 swap into a DA integra. We are using the B20Z block with the b16a cylinder head. Ive tried searching but the H-T search function is down. People say you can use the LS gasket? What is the LS? I stay in the UK so your model codes are different from here.

Is there any other gaskets that could be used bar the golden eagle one?

Thanks in advance guys

 

My friend and i are both using b20 headgaskets. I dont think u can use the LS (b18b) headgasket cause the bore is different.

 

B20 headgasket.

 

so the b16 head gasket can't be used at all?

How do you go about enlarging the dowel holes on the b20 gasket?

Thanks

 

B16 head gasket cannot be used. Machine shop can enlarge the dowel holes. Or you could try using a dremel to see if you can DIY.

 

use a b20 headgasket. If you use a b18(LS) or b16 the piston will hit the gaket

 

You cannot use your B16 (or B18) gasket on your B20 block. B16 bore is 81mm and the bore of the B20 is 84mm.

 

b20 head gasket. or a cometic head gasket

 

b20 head gasket all day all night....i have a b20vtec w/ gsr head...chambers opened to 84mm to match the bore.

 

yup B20 headgasket.. I have one for sale.

why did you do that? you just lowered your compression

 

im running 14.1 on the pistons.....still made good hp on the dyno

 

You need the b20 head gasket

 

B-20 head gsk., and you enlarge the holes in the head to accept the dowels, in the same holes as the b20 block, opposite side. Plus block the oil hole in the head 1/8 pipe tap.
