So my first lsv I sprung for the golden eagle lsv kit. It came witht he sandwich plate and oil line and headgasket and the little plug for the oil squirter. Well this time I don't wanna spend that much and want to see what head gasket I can use? The setup will be a b20z with a first gen b16 head.

 

Just order another head gasket from GE.

 

Or cometic

 

As stated in https://honda-tech.com/forums/all-motor-naturally-aspirated-44/how-build-%22reliable%22-lsvtec-b20vtec-1676914/ you can use the b20z head gasket. Just have to modify it a little

 

1. What is the cosmetic head gasket?
2. What would ihave to modify on the head gasket?

 

Why would he have to modify it?

 

Cometic, not cosmetic. And for roughly $70 (what i paid) you wont need to modifiey anything plus they make this gasket for the Frankenstein as a means of improving the LS/B20 gasket design for cooling and rivit placement.

 

Nice. Nuff said!

 

Ok thanks guys! Hopefully this build will be better than my last lsv. This time I have a b16 head ported to match the type r with all type r valcetrain and the b20z bottom end. Way nicer compared to my worn out 180k ls and stock gsr head I used to have in the dc
