ok i had a bit od a scare this past week with almost having to sell my motor for personal reasons and big ups to krisfor offering all the help if i needed it. well im almost done with the ls-vtec parts list. my ? is what head gasket do i use? do i get a ls head gasket or a b16 head gasket? i dont know if there is even a difference. ive decided to keep the b16 head stock with all OEM internals for now and work my way up. oh yea, some one get me a pr3 ecu!!! i need one asap!!!!!! thanx

 

Use an ls headgasket.

Concerning using stock internals.
That is a horrible idea.

A. Your ls rod bolts won't hold up in high rpms.
B. Your compression is going to be too low.
C. Its going to be a pain in the ass to pull everything apart to swap out your pistons & rod bolts later etc...

I can go on...

 

he allready has oversized itr pistons

 

are you sure??? about that?



mtber check pm's

 

who is putting your motor toghter?

 

ernie hare ford

 

I was assuming he was going to build a poormans lsvtec.

I just got your PM don't sleep but your inbox is full.

Use an OEM Acura Integra LS headgasket.

Concerning your dowel wholes, you will have to open them up if you use a dowel kit from GE or full race.

If you have your head drilled to 19mm for the OEM dowels, you shouldnt have to alter your headgasket.

Good Luck.

 

mail box cleaned out

 

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT U USE THE GASKET FOR WHAT HEAD U WERE GOING TO USE.

 

i was under the same assumption but i thought id go ahead and ask. better to ask a stupid ? than make a stupid mistake
