I called him this morning as soon as the shop opened. I posted what he told me in this section under 'Installing a girdle on a B18a/b' or something like that. Nice guy on the phone, he even had a nice texan accent.

Going over my list here, I want to know what head bolts to use, my B16A, the B18B, or B18C1?

C'mon some one has to know this I am going to buy some ARP headbolts and need the answer. I'm hearing two different stories.

Is it worth while to upgrade the water pump from the B18B to the B16? If I do, do I have to use a GSR timing belt? Or would I have to use a GSR timing belt anyway?

I want to go without a girdle for a month or two N/A only, will I warp/damage anything? It's only a month though.

I want this in my car soon, I hate bumming rides. PLEASE someone give me some REAL answers. AbaZ where are you?!?!?

get the head bolts for the head you are using...... as far as the timing belt, i'm not sure, it also seems like the appropriate one for that head........

Thanks teg, GSR belt pickup tommorrow, if it's in stock...

Use the same head bolts eh... I guess it makes sense, but the fact the LS block is taller kinda freaks me out...
