Default Head Gasket Replacement. '94 Civic DX with B16A swap

I'd like to replace my head gasket on my 1994 Honda Civic DX coupe that currently has a B16A engine in place. The B16A is leaking a little and needs a head gasket soon. Does anyone know of any good write ups on this?

I'd like to do all of the work myself to obviously keep costs down and to learn while I do it. Any advice or tips is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

just get a haynes manual for a integra with the b16. and follow the instructions. easy as 1-2-3

should take about 4 hours start to finish. it took me 4 hours for my first time on the d16 and i did one yesterday for the d15 in 3-1/2 hours

haynes manuals are ok...i prefer to use a system like all-data. you can get subscriptions to it for the same price as a haynes manual except you can use it for all models/years of cars. just my 2 cents

Excuse the no0b question - but how do I tell the difference between OBD 0 and OBD 2? Still trying to figure everything out... Thanks.
