hey i have b16 head b20 block.

i need a new headgasket.

i have the dowel pins that make the head and block fit without machining.

do i have to go buy a pre modified headgasket or because i have the dowel pins can i just use the regular oem headgasket without modification...

thanks i don't want to spend hundred bucks on 'modified' b20 headgasket if my dowel pins mean i can use regular local fifty buck head gasket for b20

 

come on guys i want to get my car running.

aaaanyone?

I have to ask. Are you making all of this up as you go? You seem to not have a plan, like you're making this up as you go. It's not like this swap hasn't been done before.

 

you can make your own holes for the dowel pins in a regular HG

 

head gaskets already have holes for dowel pins. All of them come with dowel pins, just the LS/VTEC uses a different dowel pin.

 

exactly what he said the dowel pins will go right in i have a b20v and somebody told me that same **** and then they fit right in

 

thanks so much guys.

yeah i have the kit dowel pins from blackworks racing, the stepped dowels, with different sized ends.

i'm tryin to figure out if a oem part store gasket down the road will fit fine because i do have the vtec conversion dowel pins.

do i still need to widen the holes?

sorry if you answerd this i dont quite understand this yet
