B Series

[94_dsm_nt]

I am getting myself a 94 Integra with a B18B1, and the timing belt broke. I was wondering if it would have bent the valves or not, and if so will any B-Series head work on it?

[DrifterExtreme]

well the valve are most likly bent. you can use any integra ls head from 90-01

heads:

• 90-93 b18a
• 94+ b18b

and if you want an upgrade you can use a dohc vtec head and do a ls/vtec. this would require you to get a new ecu, oil lines(to provide oilto the head), steped dowel pins, a 1/8th npt tap, and some wiring.

heads:
89+ jdm b16 a
92-93 gsr b17a
93-95 del sol b16
94-01 gsr b18c1
94+ jdm gsr b18c
96+ itr b18c (usdm b18c5)
and the list goes on.....

I personally would do the ls/vtec swap. But if thats not in your budget at this time then just find a stock b18a-b18b head till you can.

[94_dsm_nt]

Yeah, the LS V-TECH swap isn't in my budget, until i go back to school for auto technology. I cant immagine a head is too cheap right now either.

[KA-T_240]

what about removing and getting your head checked? that would be cheaper, if you bent on valve get that fixed...

I know more then likely something is possibly damaged. I personally would rather spend the $20 or what ever to have a machine shop check out the head and make sure it is unusable before I drop $200 or what ever on a new head, when the otherone was fine.

I have a b20 head sitting around i'd like to sell, I hear they're the same as a B18 head.

[DrifterExtreme]

you can pick up ls heads all day for less then $50.... so it isn't to bad to just replace the whole thing

let me know how much you want. how long would it take me to replace a head?

[DrifterExtreme]

it would take a few hours...

[inspector01]

I have a bare LS head that is all cleaned up with no valves or anything, so if you wanted to throw some valves in there, and use the rest from your head you could.

[integra_gsr98]

I have actually seen timing belts on LS motors break and nothing happen to the valves as long as the motor wasn't very high in the rev range. I'd throw a belt on it first and see if it runs, then go from there.

[94_dsm_nt]

yeah i guess the kid bought a timing belt for it. even if I have to replace the head, I can't complain cause I'm basically getting the car for free.:icon_thumright:

[inspector01]

You could just sell it to me, or trade me for one of my cars that runs......

[94_dsm_nt]

well it depends on what you have to trade, otherwise I've been looking for a integra for a while.

[inspector01]

Pm'd

[bubba]

If you need a head, mine should be complete, just shoot me an offer.

[94_dsm_nt]

We'll see if the car will run with the head thats on it now otherwise if it doesn't then I will be looking for one.

[94_dsm_nt]

will i have to put in a water pump and new belt tensioner when i replace the timing belt?
