**not just a HG anymore** Research/Questions. B20 HG on B18B1 block/head content

[DPancoast]

Hey d00dz and ladiez. My Teg headgasket decided to start giving up, so I'm researching and pricing out parts.

My car is an LS block that has been bored and sleeved by benson/laskey racing to a 2.0L. I've come to the confident conclusion that it puts me at an 84mm bore. With that said, the previous owner of the motor had an oem gasket bored to a 2.0. I'm hoping/guessing it was a golden eagle piece but if not, oh well it's too late now lol.

So anyway. I am having trouble figuring out what head gasket to get. I have some choices

- get a golden eagle piece. oem quality bored out to 84mm
- get a cometic metal piece... not preferred. all integra threads say bad news bears/hit or miss.
- get something super expensive like hks... no thanks

Or my final option that I am trying to confirm. Get a factory B20 headgasket that from the factory has an 84mm bore. I'd love to since it seems they can handle much more power than I will ever have.

But my question is. Can anyone confirm FOR SURE that the B20 head gasket will mate up to my B18B1 non-vtec block and head.

Just worried about oil and coolant passages and can't afford to have it not fit and have to wait for another gasket to come in.

Maybe even someone has a part number or application I can use to order from the dealer (through my gf at wholesale price lol)

And lastly. Is anyone good at doing valve lash on a Honda? Would love for some help on the reinstall
