In the pic of your engine I noticed that there is a spacer between the top and bottom parts of your intake. I have never seen this on any other stock engine so I was wondering what it is exactly. ( ie: Nitrous injection plate, just a spacer to increase intake runner length ) If you take your intake apart could you please take detailed pics of this piece and post it or email it to me? Thank you.

This is the same intake that comes on the A20A3. The spacer is where the butterfly valves are located. Hence the dual stage intake. They open up the shorter and fatter runners. Came on the 88-89 models.

I can see from the pics you are breaking down the engine. Are you using Paul's source to get the seals, oil pump assy? I ran across an article tonight on a guy that put a B20 w/ B16A VTEC head in a Civic Hatch. I am going to write the mag and author to find out how to get a hold of this guy, his name is Danh Yngh, I guess, Vietnamese maybe.

the engine you're talking about are not the b20a but the b20b/z. A lots of guy here have this swap, b20/b16 Vtec head. I don't know if my source for the complete gasket are the same than paul but i think that yes. It's Carotman who will order them, not me.

YEs i'm breaking down the engine. I'll rebuild it completly and change some parts to be more performant.
