Ok, I have a 90 prelude, 2.0 I had golden eagle build my block, bored 84mm, re-sleeved with "godzilla" sleeves, yada yada yada. They couldnt bore my stock head gasket because its not metal like the ones for newer cars, it is a paper material similar to exhaust gasket material and it has a metal ring around the cylinder holes. So, dose anyone know what the hell I can do? Any place make custom head gaskets? Thanks for your help.

 

you can use a customre coppper cut gasket is probably your alternative...

 

how or where do I get one?

Pardon my ignorance, but why spend the money on that motor? Ive seen b16's swapped into them, you could have gone that route.

 

Im sorry to say, but I can guarentee that you have never seen a b16 swaped into a 3rd gen prelude. I spent the money on my engine to be completly different, and run 12's or better in a 90 prelude. I would say thats different, wouldnt you?

 

Didnt mean to sound like a dick in the above post. But b16's are just not logical in my car. They dont have enough torque for it. The only swap other than a jdm b20a is an h22, which I dont think is worth it. With my set up I can run all over h22 3rd gens all day. Well that is if it ever gets finished.

 

Im not sure if it would work..but can you use a b20b/z head gasket? The head gaskets are 84.5mm i believe. Although i dont know if they would fit on the b20a block.

Thanks for your help guys. Anybody else have any input?

 

No, I definetly saw a b16 in a 3rd gen prelude before. There is a stupid ricer vid on a domestic site that i saw a little while ago.

I believe that was an old school accord in that video, was it not?


And GE dosnt offer a head gasket for my car, its a b20a, not an h22.

 

call any one that cna make anything in copper gaskets. any local decent hight tech machine shop can cut you one. it will seal if you oring your head and block
