What are the major diffrences if any?

Reason I'm asking is I've been having some oil burning and general old age of the current b18a1 engine that's in there, the quote to get it rebuilt is just under the cost of a used b18b. Soooo, the brain and I were thinking that it might be more worth while to just got with the b instead. Thoughts? Suggestions?

 

the 90-91 b18a had different cams. the 92-93 b18a is the same as a b18b

 

Ok, well that's pretty good. Would be a direct replacement then.


On another note... how do I get the gas smell out of my shoes? h:

 

Pour urin on them. Then they'll smell like piss.

 

Major differences? None, only slight cam profile changes and manifold differences. Oh, and the valve cover changed on the newer B18B's. Leave them outside to air out for a few warm days.
