I am doing a b20vtec swap with a b16 head and I recived my new gasket but the problem is the dowel pins. the gasket wont fit over the pins on the exhaust side. has anyone ever encounter this problem? if so lemmi kno ur resolution to the problem thanks alot

 

did the gasket come with the lsvtec kit? of not then you have to drill the holes bigger on the gasket

 

ya I figured and I did drill them bigger thanks for the advice

 

does it still not fit??

 

it fits now that I made the holes bigger

Good deal. DIY for FTW

 

same problem got the golden eagle one and i was told that it would fit...but they were wrong. Talked to and showed David at Inline Four and he told me just get the b20 head gasket. no problems no drilling necessary.

 

it is a b20 headgasket but the dowel pins goin the intake side on the b20 but on the b16 the dowels on the exhaust side and the golden eagle b20/lsvtec kit has dowels to fit it. but the headgasket has to be modded for the dowels to fit.
