b20a valve cover gasket

[Versanick]

So I have a gold top b20a.

I ordered a valve cover gasket for the 1990 b18 teg.

I am told that the "older teg" valve cover gaskets fit, so I am trying this one.

Is this the right one, or is it the valve cover gasket from the b16 found in the 86-89 tegs?

Either way, Advance auto parts tried to tell me both were NOT DOHC, because it didn't say DOHC on their computer. After looking at the 90-93 listing on their screen I go okay so maybe you don't have one for the DOHC older ones, but the 90-91 teg i KNOW is dohc and so your computer just doesn't say it (the point which I SAW the b18 motor code there, but no DOHC next to it, after asking him if it said DOHC next to the GS-R, which it didn't)..

Is the 90-91 (normal 140hp) b18 valve cover gasket going to work? or do I need to order the older one? Or are they the same?

thanks bros

I thought they meant the older one 86-89 but that one may work because the valve cover looks similar. But the only way to find out is to try it when you get it.

ill trade u my black valve cover for ur gold valve cover i want the gold top valve cover

My gold top is actually sand-blasted down to metallic instead of gold. It's just a gold-top version.

Either way, it's paintable with some of that heat-resistant paint. I don't mind trading, but my car's already been off the road for a couple of weeks, and I want to make sure I can get it running well before I send it off.

Send me an e-mail about it, dude

i changed my valve cover gasket when i had my b20a... i used the b20a5 gasket and it worked fine

[Versanick]

Huh. I'll keep that in mind. Maybe most of the b-series older motors (without the spark plug cover, like the b16a and itr motors etc)... all have the same valve cover gasket anyway.

I'll find out soon, lol.
thanks dude.

[BITESIZE]

Vern, you still have that B20?

[88LXI]

yeah i still have it... theres a guy in cali that says he sent the money but i havent seen it

[Versanick]

The integra gasket is exactly the same, works fine.

Got it for the 90 integra LS I think... whatever one is 140 or 142hp, I think it's the b18a1... either way I believe you're right, I know people have used the valve cover gaskets from the b16 integras of the 80's.
