LS/Vtec swap Q's

[Shearmanator]

I'm going to pick up a B16A this weekend (not sure if its an A1 or B1) anyways what do I need to make the head work on my B18A1 engine? Is it really easier to buy a golden eagle kit? I don't really trust their head gasket because I'm going to boost it pretty soon? Is there any other place were I can tap for oil pressure? Will I have any piston-to-valve clearance issues?

The head gasket that comes with their kit is oem honda, even comes in the honda packaging. I only use honda head gaskets on all my builds never had a problem, never will use anything else.

the golden eagle kit is the best thing to get for an ls vtec. it'll save you so much headaches and take like a quarter of the time to do
