Werd on the ARP rod bolts. For $45 or so it's worth the extra insurance. And for a bump up in oil pressure, stick a spacer on top of the spring in the oil pumps's pressure relief valve. Oil pump itself from b18b's should be the same as gsr and b16 pumps from 94+ with the exception of a lower spring rate on the release valve.

Re: ls/vtec question
It was a trick I found off Endyn's old website years ago. I'm looking over the site again right now, but I can't seem to find it. Pretty much it just entails removing the allen-key plug from the bottom of the oil pump and adding a spacer of some sort (i.e. a washer) to put more pressure on the release spring.

as for the solenoid. there the same....this is just a classic cause its a type r its better.
the type r is a well made engine balanced and blueprinted from the factory......
as for the lsvtec if you were to spend the lil extra when assembling it would be just as good as a type r, or in some eyes better...i put my lsvtec together stock everything lsbottom end 99si head on...and stomped my buddies type r all daY...
in the world of motor choise alot of people do diffrent things:
-PoorMans type r (gsr bottom end, B16 head)
-LS/vtec and B20/vtec
-sleeper LS/VTec (ls crank and rods in a GSR)
-Semi stock stroker b16 ( ls rods and crank w/ custom pistions with a higher wrist pin location)
-high compression LS (Pr3, p30, p72, PCT pistions)
Note: these are just some combos and all have the + and - to each...two key thing will seperate any engine combo from the other, THE BUILDER and THE TUNER...
