Default Proper gapping?

Hey All,
I have a couple quick questions. I have a stock B20B with a GSR head (VTEC). I don't know if it's USDM or JDM, it is from a 1996. How would I know if it's JDM or USDM? What would you recommend for the gap? I want to see what everyone says and what gap everyone runs with their B20V with GSR head. Thank you for your time everyone.

Sorry about that. Yes, I was referring to spark plug gap. But any information as far as valve lash and all would be great too. Thank you.

Doesn't anybody buy manuals anymore. They make the specs easy.

Stick to the stock recommended gaps, most all plugs you buy for your car will be pre gapped and you don't touch the gap, but some are not and its good to at least check them and gap as needed. Use NGK plugs. If you have a turbo charged or boosted engine you will need to use a different gap and plug for your application.
