Hey guys. I need a little bit of help atm.
I just popped my head gasket and my engines in pieces. While its opened, what can i do for a lil bit more torque or power?(cheapest way please).
And by the way. Ive got a Honda Integra Xsi 1990 with b16a motor. Im looking arounf for gaskets. Is there a difference between b16a2 and mine? I dont even know what mine is...so sad...
:confused:

get a thinner gasket then stock. bump up the compression a little.. otherwise consider a cam upgrade or something. nothing much else

Since you need a cyl head OH anyway rather than spend on a thinner gasket,
Shave the head.
Before you do that though. Figure out wh the gasket blew.
Two things blow head gaskets.
Overheating & or detonation.

Regarding the actual gasket...
Any gasket for a B16A, B16B or B18C will do the job.
They're all the same.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the help. Ive picked up my head gasket yesterday(ball breaker to find man) and everything should be back by Monday. Hopefully it doesnt pop again!..Cheers Guyz
