Follow my Instagram @JDM_SWAG How to build a b20b with a b16 head tutorial. No I'm not a professional but I have a bit of mechanical knowledge and people who helped me with this build. You need a gasket for the block and a valve cover gasket don't reuse the old one or the head studs you need those all new! I didn't do the oil flush I vacuumed out all the metal shavings caused by the drilling and covered the block with tape so that wouldn't fall anywhere else but the holes which you can help. Just be sure you clear the holes out well before installing the head studs to get proper torque specs and a have a clean engine. 1. You need an intake manifold to fit the b16 head the b20 will not fit. 2. You need a distributor for the b16 head the B20b will not fit. 3. You'll need a chipped ECU, Haltech Harness or a Vtec ECU for manual transmission. When you drill the block use a 14mm drill bit and or a 9/16. This video for a video tutorial on how to do that by clicking this link https://youtu.be/X7anmN3LsOk 4. You'll need new head studs because you can't reuse Honda head studs. The old ones that hold the cams are fine to reuse as far as I know. I believe the torque specs are 63 pounds. 5. Be sure your timing is good for the distributor and the timing belt because that's how I fucked up my valves on my b20 head that's why I'm doing this conversion anyway. 6. I hope this helps those who are planning on doing this build remember I'm not a professional mechanic and but this is the best guideline you may find on YouTube trust me I've looked. They show you brief parts of a build or when the parts are already on but they don't go into dept and the Honda tech forums are controversial so you don't know what informant is good information. Good luck on your build and I hope you like this video and subscribe.
