Default head gasket question

Im putting together a gsr head and a jdm b18c block.

This may be a stupid question but does it matter which gasket i get? if its the gsr or the b18c? or are they the same?

and...wheres the best place to get them from?

sinknastrexo... he didn't specify weather he was using an sir-g b18c or a b18c-r bottom end. either way the usdm gsr head will bolt to the jdm block, i've always used the head gasket for the head that i was using, not the block. as far as gaskets, i'd go with felpro or oem. i bought some ebay gaskets for my motor, they didnt' work out so well.

match headgasket to head

luckily for the B series, its as simple as buying a headgasket for a vtec b series. B16, B18c1/5, and jdm b18c all share!!
