As above i want to get a thicker one so that the valves dont touch the pistons haha.

Where would i get one please? And what would be best size
 
cometic in the US sell various thicknesses of head gasket, from .030 to .120' (I think off the top of my head)

as for which you need is hard to say without more info
 
Camshaft timing gears not an option? Rather than throwing all your compression away.
 
What's the specs to have piston to valve issues, big cams and pistons I gather??
 
I think he has ek9 pistons in it. No decent valve relief in them compared to a forged one of the same Cr.
 
I want to put it together as is tbh but i dono will it clear guess il jus have to do it an see with moulding clay and then if it doesnt work i will use cosmetic one.

Thanks for info man :)

Yes jessy is correct.

Im saving up to afford a new oil pump and water pump they are 480 euro from honda......

Wha did you mean about the cam gears man? Would that not ruin Vtec by taking away from it
 
Ctr cams

Ctr pistons

B18cr bottom end

My head is skimmed
 
With the cam gears you can change the the time the valves open and close, meaning you can possibly avoid any piston to valve contact.
The cams you have should have degreeing info available for them, although i vaguely remember speaking about this before? Turned out another member had the exact same setup with no issues
 
Youll be fine on stock cams
 
But my valve to piston clearance was close on my b16 with stock pistons so i just think it will probably be too close.

But look only way to do it would be to try it with the clay and see first.
