Default ran into a problem swaping head

ok i have the d15b block and i was doing a mini me swap and i rant into a problem when i was putting my head on and starting puttin the head bolts in they all went in nicely except one. its the top left one and its bottoming out and there is about a half inch gap. i looked on my d15b head and the place where the bolt goes is alot high on the d15 head then the d16y8 head so since its higher it wont bottom out but the place on the d16 head sits lower then the d15 head so my question is can i use a washer to take away the gap or wil this affect the proformence and stuff i know there is a special washer hat u have to use but i dont rember the name right now will this work and torque correctly or will this be a problem please help me out i need to do this tomorrow

I had the same problem but I had the head bolts from the Vtec head. The only thing I can tell U is get the head bolts for that head.

And dont try to use a washer or nothing like that cause it wont work. And you will end up stripping out the thread in the block and that is a pain in the ass.
