- This is three scenario on how to put a dowel pin on a b20 block. Dowel pin from the intake side ( drill the head and make wider), dowel pin from the exhaust side (Ls vtec step down dowel pin, golden eagle gasket or make a bigger hole in the stock gasket), no dowel pin (have performance head stud and torque down at 80lb). On video, "I HAD PUT GASKET WRONG WAY" (using as example). For b20 vtec oil you can use sandwich plate on oil filter, or buy a t fitting and tapped the oils pressure sensor. Block oil return hole on head by treading and adding a small plug. The oil line has to be tapped from the intake side for oil to feed into sandwich or t fitting. If using Stock b20 timing belt leave stock Ls or b20 water pump. If using gsr timing belt used 22 teeth gsr water pump. You can use b20 distributer if you chop off one leg that is into the way of vtec solenoid (one bolt on top and the other bolt

Works fine. Done it with at least 6 cars lsv b16a b20v gsr and ran a few of them on boost 10-18psi never had a problem with the head walking. Shit some vws dont even call for dowel pins lol.
Okay so the dowell pins are definitely needed. Otherwise no matter how much you torque the head it will walk without these pins. They serve a purpose besides just alingment. It keeps the head aligned saving your fasteners and whatever else will come from a head shifting and shearing head studs.
Two options here, open the intake side guide dowells to 9/16 or option 2, use a cometic gasket
Your head studs are upside down lol
austin stinnett and it's locktite 😂🤣😂😂
Lmfao
If your an expert look at thread you see that we running Speed factory performance solid studs, NO allen keys made for it. So not upside down. Thanks for your concern austin.
Yes, we did use loctite 270 and 262, don't be hating if you don't know what you talking about. LOL
It's sturdy
I have a b20 vtec setup. B16 head b20b block. Do I need to use dowel pin if I am running ARP headstuds? Or I can ran without dowel pin. Also will it be safe or ok to run without dowel pin if I were to install cams and upgrade valve trains and tuning?
nah fam you need them dowels dont do that to these people just get the right gasket
Been running til now.
The last few vtec heads I've owned have not needed dowels at all and were never machined or drilled. Dowell conspiracy!
Are those arp head bolts on upside down? Don't they have an Alan wrench slot on them?
They are solid studs from speedfactory
I got a b20z2 block with a b16a head . And I'm just wondering what gasket I would need and what I would have to do to get them going without having to worry about blowing it 100 miles afterwords lol
Suggest golden eagle vtec kit and gasket
Thanks for the info
I've used an one b16 gasket, a golden eagle ls vtec gasket, and now a je pro seal b16 head gasket. They all cause coolant burning on the timing belt side between the block and head. Block is decked and resurfacing the head 2 times now. Using arp head studs as well. Should I try an ls non vtec gasket?
Don’t use b16 not the same use whatever bottom is
@@hellastanceLLC Did u ever think that possibly.. just maybe...that that is the motor he has?
@@hellastanceLLC have you ever ran boost with a felpro head gasket?
@@Duwop77 yes we did. not recommended, but it works. cometic gasket recomended
@@hellastanceLLC Thanks
Dude just put the dowels on the head and put the small side of the dowel pin through the gasket and block
Do the dowel pins really matter when u put it on the exaust or intake side? Just bought a lsvtec tore it down and it looks like he ran them on the intake side with no problems
If it worked keep it that way i guess ?
Same here I’m wondering the same thing
So I can put on the head without dowel pins and rely on the alignment of the studs? Am I reading that correctly?
I reversed a vtec head that was on a b18 ls block, whats happens if i forget to remove the plug AND put It on a b16a2 block? Will It choke the oil feed?
Where do we buy a Bremel, I can't seem to find nowhere
walmart has it
Dremel.
Run 35psi of boost....watch the head float
Jim Hiscott no boost the car is NA on pump gas doing 12 second 1/4 mile 🤷🏾♂️
It may be possible but ima roll with the dowels
I have a oil leak on mine did I do something wrong B20b gsr head oil leaking from timing side area got arp studs with dowel pin and cometic head gasket 84.mm
Try using hondabond around it. Smear it on your finger with thin layer. That’s what we did. Use the bottom block gasket if possible. Never had a problem.
HellaStance will try that thank you
HellaStance is there I reason why it leaks
Pedro Rivera can be a couple factors. Block or head need to be resurface, the oil drain like us not the same size, gasket, and head stud use performance
HellaStance head came from shop ready to go block is straight must be the head gasket
Quick question? I currently have a full LS swap but I will be going LS Vtec with a GSR head. Will my stock throttle body, sensor, and cable work?
yes, all sensors from ls are same as gsr.
Did you end up having any external or internal coolant or oil leaks?
nope still running til now. even raced with it.
Are those head studs upside down?
no they are speedfactory
Did it work bro I'm building a lsv n I fKing forgot to put the dowel pins I have arp studs head is already on block torque down and everything
What you do ?
I fucked up . Im runnin b20z gsr head . Arp studs . Cometic gaskit . I just noticed my dowel pins . It torque on and timmed . Should i leave it ?
just leave it, we are running no dowel pin also been a year and a half no issue. As long as you running aftermarket studs your good.
How much Power did it put down?
240hp 168 lb
@@hellastanceLLC not on a stock bottom end block
Did this work ?
Rob Blaze still racing it at a low 13s. Been running for a year and a half now
HellaStance i just put gsr head on my b20z . I just notced my dowel pins after timming the motor lmao . I have arp studs and cometuc gasket . ? Am i fucked ?

If they don't put those that down dowel pins in you going to have blow by on your head I'm going to be compressed air or air fuel mixture will go into your radiator or your coolant system as well as your oil and you will be burning oil in that same way due to the fact that had is not properly aligned this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Felpro is trash
Can cometic be used with no issues? 84mm
