Okay, I have a B18c5 head and is rebuilt to 0miles, and was thinking about going with my stock CTR cams or should I upgrade to an after market for better performance due to my CTR pistons?? My block is also a B18c5 and I have CTR pistons in it and I'm running with a B18Ls Crank with P73 rods on it, everything is already together for the block but was wondering what Head gasket should I get to make it work rite?? And for the head studs should I get ARP Gsr or Type R?? Need Help??Anything??? Thanks

 

It all depends upon what you want to do with this setup. Its not all that "cookie cutter" when it comes to these decisions. You can either keep the B18C5, convert it to a "GLSR" using the LS crank , or run LS/VTEC. It's all here, its just a matter of finding the information, which is well posted here.

If you plan to stay stock Bottom end, keep the camshaft choice OEM, or simply a mild upgrade.. There are plenty of choices to go with, so check out Google keyword Honda-Tech: to find the information regarding the cam choices as well as opinions of each type..
