in essence you are correct by making some holes but i believe if you use the vtec gasket obv you wouldnt need to cut anything and its already there.
but yes you were correct by making some holes larger etc
Cheers Mikey!
So a non modified gsr/vtir head gasket will be fine?
awesome, thanks for that. also, kinda noob question, are the standard B20 rods okay to use with the RS Machine pistons?Quote:

you can get golden eagle vtec head gasket. they use OEM gasket and then bore it for you, if thats what you want. they also enlarge other holes from the oem gasket. i have one, and it came in with oem part number.
also a question, sorry foy may aswell ask here instead of making new thread.
would i have to use B16A timing belt if i were to use: B16A water pump, B16A oil pump, B18C cam gears?
Where'd you get the seperate head gasket from Ric?Quote:

you can buy them seperate from golden eagle im pretty sure, i got mine from a member on here. the one i got is 84.5mm, so i will loose a bit of compression im told. dosnt bother me too much.
are you looking at golden eagle or full race vtec kit? i will be going full race kit, cause i dont want to use the oil sandwich plate cause more of a chance to have leaks imo.
yeh im doing a B20 as well, slowly slowly.
I'm going to diy the oil lines, including braided lines, t pieces and stuff it's going to cost me sfa.Quote:

Right now i'm just pricing up how much it'll cost for the b20, dad and I can get the current b18c2 fully rebuilt (we'll do assembly work as you know) for around 2grand total.
So it may be worth the little extra for a b20 :)
You still up north man?
awsome that you do most of the work, i wanna do most my self as well. if not i know an engine builder that has experience in hondas. yeh im still budgeting my build at the moment. im not going all out, but will only be using quality stuff.
what are you gonna do about the PCV system? i was thinking running a oil catch can between the PCV and intake arm, and a breather kit for the block since i have read that the B20 has troubles with block pressures.
na im back from up north now, was great to see more of qld but. money was sick :)
oh and clear your pm box
Ill probably just do as gsi_psi suggested with the prelude fittings and ill get a catch can. If you can do diy stuff, why not.
And yeah, building ourselves will save a chunk of money.
Inbox cleared.
Its worth it man, with B20 as soon as you take off you will feel the difference, ive been in many B18C ,B16A you cant feel the vtec like you can with a B20.
