ignition timing i would assume would be the same as the 2nd gen b16 and you can buy a manual for the motor

i did the head gasket on my prelude srv ( h22a1 ) it was a bitch to do but its saved me about $1500 canadain. doing a b16 shouldnt be hard just u need to basicly unbolt all the stuff on the head. i would reccomend going to honda and buying the service manual. it help me so much it has everything u need to know and shows how to remove the head and all that good shit. seeing as the head is goin to be off u should look into port and polish if your doing up the engine it helps so much... i gives you about 25% more hp
