I finally got a hold of Steve today at Hondamotorsonline. He said he doesn't have any B20z's, just low compression B20b's. Steve did recognize that there were three different compression types as rumored. 10:1, 9.6:1, and 8.8:1. He talked pretty fast, and I didn't quite remember (read take note) which years he was referring to, but he did say the years. IAS, I called about a week ago, they only have the US B20b's.
I visited a salvage yard local, hot line was dead with silence.

So, anyone know where I can find a b20z?
