Default Tapping for lsv

i have a b18b1 bottom end and a b16a head which i am about to build a lsv out of. my question is if i tap the head on the intake side will i be able to remove that "tapped plug" if i decided to go back to a c1 block and b16a head

build it right, being cheap will result in failure

There should be an allen-head plug on the intake side of the head towards the passenger side of the car. Take it out and an adaptor for the oil line will thread right in. Just put the plug back in if you switch blocks later.

Btw, I'm pretty sure all that stuff comes with the GE LS/Vtec kit.
