    thats news to me, I've used the same one on b16's and gsr heads....But the B17 and OBD0 may be different, I doubt it though. Just cross the part #'s if your not sure, honda and acura should have them in stock. You could just take the old one with you.....

    b16a3 came in the 99 si civics, on worldpac parts catalogue, they call it a "spool valve strainer w/ gasket" (or something similar) because it has a metal strainer in the oil feed. there is another spool valve gasket that goes between two parts of the solenoid, not the solenoid to head. i have replaced a few of these lately on an obd1 b18c and a 99 b16a3. i have to agree with punkr6, they looked exactly the same to me.
    the cam plugs that i replaced at the same time though, looked different, but im sure they'd interchange.
    the big one goes between the cylinder head and the solenoid itself.
