b18 non vtec valve covers
 

i am working on building a b18b block but didnt think much about the different years. now i am buying parts and i am noticing some things. i got a b18a head yesterday and then i started looking around for a valve cover and saw 2 types. can i use the obd2 smooth valve cover on my b18a head?

i think so, don't quote me on that....see if you can do a test fit and make sure the bolt holes line up

Why did you even post?

i doubt i will be buying locally so i have to know before i spend the money. with all of the people in jax FL there isnt much going on here with imports so finding parts is hard. usually my parts are shipped

word i hear that bein up in NOR cal...gadda drive to downtown sacramento to find anything in stock (2 hours or so)...even though i work at a performance shop we don't really have anything i'm lookin for....shitty...

Re: b18 non vtec valve covers
 

is there anyway to check gasket part numbers or something. i should have just paid better attention and bought all b18b stuff

It will work

Re: b18 non vtec valve covers
 

cool. have you done it? or seen it done?

Re: b18 non vtec valve covers
 

all b18a b18b valve covers fit the same. you can even use the b20 crv valve covers.

Re: b18 non vtec valve covers
 

cool. now i am on the lookout for an b18b valve cover

they work, trust me. one minor problem is that the PCV valve in the smooth cover doesnt really go anywhere on the b18a1.

I have one for sale. It's painted gold w/ clear applied on top. Let me know if you're interested.

i have one on the way but thanks

it will be turboed so i will have to make my own pcv system anyway. im sure i can hook it up somehow

Re: b18 non vtec valve covers
 

Be careful...some b18b covers can also look like the b18a one's as well. My friend has a b18b in his 95 coupe and it still has the older looking b18a valve cover. I think from 97+ and from CRV's have the smooth finish vc.
