B16A Questions

[1990JDMteG]

im replacing the head on my B16a head bc of blown head gasket.

What heads will fit on a b16a?
...

b18? gsr?

AND

When i find a replacement what do i need to get everything put together right?

[josh94civic]

any b seris would fit but why replace the head? just get it resurfaced and a new head gasket.

[1990JDMteG]

Ok so lets leave out the b18 part and say that you want a GSR head........hhhhmmmmmm GSR heads would run you about 400-550 is that around the price range you were referring to by cost less

you would be waistin your time getting another head if you want to save money just do like everybody is telling you use your old head and for the money you would spend buying another head buy some cams

[1990JDMteG]

by the time i pay for labor to resurface new gaskets and put it back together it would be about the same if not more

[1990JDMteG]

alright well thanks ill do that!

where is the best place in metro ATL?

i live in North GA

I've gotten a resurface done for around 50 bucks from a machine shop

Here to help Unless you bought with bent valves amongst other horrible things that could have happened your head is still in more/less good condition.

like buddy said ^ a few you can get it resurfaced for around 50$ then a head gasket OEM which i have one but it's beeing saved for later use for like 80$ so 130 you do the work your self or pay mainstream they wont charge to much and slap some cams in it for an extra 15-20 horses

[1990JDMteG]

good place in GA? ill go where ever im in canton about and 45 to an hour north of ATL

[josh94civic]

what you really should do is get the head fixed and a b18b1 block (ls/vtech) and then you would have a nice combo. but that cost money... just putting in my 2 cents.

I see that comment and raise ya a

[josh94civic]

im just saying a stock ej gsr and a stock ej b16 would turn in favor of a gsr though But... a ls/vtech would take both so yea... (with a b16 head though) the b16 head is the best though

[josh94civic]

in when it comes to b's that is....

[1990JDMteG]

soo no recommendation?

[Grimm Reeper]

soo no recommendation?

I can only recommend that you google for machine shops within your area code.

[1990JDMteG]

what about shops for labor?

[josh94civic]

main stream or leathel injeciton (<spell check)

[allmotorX]

I see that comment and raise ya a

really

[You_Wish]

i live in canton too... take it to main stream they do good work and try to get it done pretty quick for you....

[Master Shake]

you might want to just reuse the same head.

kinda pointless to put a different one.
just get another h/g and resurface the head. then good to go.

but if you want to keep the gasket from blowing over and over again, get one of those metal ones. but that's on you.

[RedEj8]

I just want to know how you blew a head gasket on a B16..That's pretty hard to do.
