Head Gasket and Head bolts?

[Red Si]

I have a friend who is doing an LS/Vtec but he was wondering a couple of things. First off, which head gasket does he use? Of course the B16 head gasket would match up with the B16 head, but would the LS pistons clear that? Or does he need to use the LS head gasket? Also, which head bolts does he use? Those made for the B16 or for the LS? Also, for someone doing a CRVtec, would this info still apply? Sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm kinda new to hybrid information. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hey the best way to find out stuff is to ask questions man...

But the LS head gasket is the way to go. As for the bolts, use the ones that came with the head, unless hes looking for aftermarket ones, ARP's are used for a lot of ls/vtec conversions.

Also, he might want to have a Helms manual nearby in case he runs into an installation problems.

Hope this helped.
