in the process of rebuilding my ~220whp b20 vtec, plan to spray it 50-75hp shot occasionally too. Few quick questions:

1. do I need to replace the timing belt tensioner oil and water pump? not trying to be a cheap *** but they probably have 15k miles max

2. anyone here think the Gates racing timing belts are better than oem?

3. will a b18b oil pan and pickup fit a b20 bottom end?

4. should I copper spray the head gasket? (i've never done this before)

5. will a stock crank pulley be ok? or I also have an unorthodox pulley I could use.

6. should I get arp main studs too?

 

1.IDK
2.IDK
3.Yes
4.dont need to
5.No
6.No

 

thanks man, that pic in your profile is facking awesome too


not clear on what you mean by stock crank pulley no though? you're saying both stock and unorthodox shouldn't be used? what would you recommend then and why?

 

sorry... use the stock pulley or a fluidampr
