B18 block/B20 head help?

[redlandsskakid]

ok so i have just a stock B18 Ls block but the head is cracked and cant be repaired. a buddy came up on a B20 P8r head for $50 so i bought it.
will this head work with the block? if so what kind of modification would i need to do so it runs clean?

Use a b20 head gasket.

They only came on Honda Orthia's which were station wagon like cars in another country. You will only find it here in the states where the motor was imported.

Maybe you didnt understand what I said. Thats fine, because you probably know nothing about this motor.

The P8R cylinder head never came on ANY B20 motor that was sold in ANY Honda CRV in the United States. Comprende?

 

[Josh73]

its it workth 250$ for all of all of that?

No. And you would need verification that its a P8R head anyways. Every motor produced overseas is not the special P8R head. They still sold P75 and PR4s out there.

The only way I would pay that much for one, would be if it was fresh out of a machine shop, all of the valves were straight, the head had been resurfaced, and valve guides replaced.

The b20 is a good motor for a replacement. The only down fall is the valves float in the head. I put 10 b20b's into integras now. I like using the ls head on them myself. All you should have to do will be use a 97 crv timing belt,plugs and headgasket. I get the b20b's imported for $400 good motors, use your factory p75 ecu as well.

 

[dcteg859]

I sell a b20 head complete for maybe 150 max
