hey, whats up? HT
I have a 2000 ITR with built turbo LS/VTEC motor in it, I knew the head gasket is about to blow.. so I stop driving the car untill I find out which head gasket should I use, the block has been bored out to 86mm.. so my question is: should I run OEM honda B16 head gasket?

 

Why not call Mike and ask him what gasket he used...

Poor R...

 

why would you use an 81mm gasket on an 86mm bored block? Pistons will probably hit the gasket. If the LS/VTEC is set up properly, you could probably go with a B20 gasket (bored to 86, but coolant/oil holes might not line up properly on the head) or an B16/ITR gasket bored to 86mm(again, check coolant/oil holes). Youll probably have better luck with this in the Hybrid forum. Personally I would probably go with the B16/ITR gasket and bore it to 86.

 

Golden Eagle re-worked 86mm LS headgasket, FTW.
