Re: high compression pistons problem
How high compression are we talking here.. the vtec gasket will not fit the b18b.
The OEM gasket is probably exactly what you need. if the head is not warped, and the deck is in spec, you should be fine. you might have the head and block checked by a machine shop to ensure they are in spec. warpage will just cause you to blow another gasket. Bad machine work, if any was done previously, will also cause it.
