I helped my friend install a b16b in a 97delsol. We fired it up today and it had a leak a the t.b., Iwas wonding if the t.b. gasket is the same as the b16a, or the itr. :thinking:

 

b16b? thats quite the rare engine....

 

Just go to checker and get a sheet of gasket material. It'll cost about 2 bucks. Then cover the mating surface of the TB in grease or wd-40. Slap that onto the gasket material, and it'll show you where you need to cut out with an exacto knife. Cheap gasket, and you'll have enough left over to make a few more.

 

Would the gasket not be the same for all B engines?

 

I bet the ITR gasket would work fine.

 

b series is b series is b series.

 

yeah but that doesnt mean the gaskets will be the same due to different bores of things.

 

:doh: you're right! sorry!!

 

The problem with the gasket paper is the two small air passages around the main bore, the paper may not seal well. Does anybody know the bore diam. of the b16a and the itr? Thanks for all the posts.

 

3.189 inches according to http://www.raceseek.com/honda_specs.htm but that doesn't sound right to me. :dunno:
