Which Head Gasket, B18? or B20?
I am in the middle of replacing the head on my 91 integra because the timing belt broke. I was told a B20B/Z head from a Honda CRV would fit on my B18A1 engine so I bought one (it's being shipped now). Anyway, I was wondering which head gasket I would need to use...one for a B18A1 engine or one for the B20Z head? I would think that the head gasket would be the same, but I've seen head gaskets for sale that say they will fit the B18, but not the B20. Any ideas? Again, your help is much appreciated.

Still here... sorta...
B18A1 hg. The bore on your motor is that of a 1.8L motor (appx 81 mm). The bore on the B20 is that of a 2.0L motor (appx 84 mm). Therefore, you need the head gasket that will match your bore - that of the B18.
