Well i want to know if a B18A valve cover will fit on a B18B head????

I havent had the chance to look at a B18B, but i know that there were minimum changes in the motor.

Thanks to anyone that helps out!!

 

supposivly all non-vtec covers swap and all vtec covers can swap but can't mix vtec and non-vtec

you should have no problem but, you couldn't out a b18c or b16a2 valve cover on a non-vtec make sense?

 

here is a pic of a 98-01 b18b valve cover, if it helps:

 

You shouldnt have any problems swapping to another valve cover, as long as its from a non-vtec b-series.

 

Yes it will fit without a problem.. Just to let u know b18a valve covers are the same thing for b18b valve covers from 94-97 years. After that they change it to the picture ur looking above.

 

there is a difference on my 92 b18a there isnt a whole at the top for the pvc valve thats only on a 98--01 so if u get one from b4 that there will not be a whole......(i liked the smooth better than the lumpy one) found that out when tryin to put one on my car

So what did you do to cover the hole?

I want to get DCcliffjumper2's valve cover....

 

Ok, so the 90-97 are all the same?? Honda changed it to the above pics in 98?

 

90-95 Non-VTEC = 1st gen cover
96-01 Non-VTEC = 2nd gen cover

 

hey anyone know what sand paper to use to sand down the valve cover? Also what type of paint u guys use to paint it.

i used a pvc valve u can see it in tha pic it came from a civc and i gotta rubber topper to go on the top of it from autozone.........the guy who powdercoated my valve cover used aircraft stripper.........actually i have a crv valve cover but its the same as a 98+

 

this is interesting stuff

i was thinking of putting a b18b valve cover on my b20... that way I can buy one of those sexy wire covers..... I know it sounds lame, but it would make the engine bay look a lot nicer!

Ah...sorry to burst your bubble, but the B20 and the B18B valve covers are exactly the same. Also, unless you can custom make it, there aren't any covers for the plug wires.

 

really, no b18 plug covers?

are the b20z covers the same as the b20b?

i didnt think there were wire covers for these type of valve covers i thought the covers were only on vtec valve covers....ive yet to see a non-vtec valve cover with the plug cover or the studs that it go on
