Valve Covers

I have a 95 Integra LS with a b18b block with a b20b head on it. Can anyone point me in the direction of a valve cover that will fit it or will a b18 valve cover fit it?

If you have a b20 head, you would need to use the b20 valve cover. I am not sure if a b18b would fit that head. Just out of curisoity, why did you put a b20 head on your b18b motor?

The reason I did it is that its a direct swap and it provides some more power and torque but im not sure how much. B20 heads arent that expensive either.

If anyone else knows the answer to this that would be great. I hate to seem kinda n00bish but I'm still learning about engine work.

Thanks for the help maxspeedhonda.

If you're a newbie to engine work you shouldn't have dropped the B20 head on your B18B, because it will do nothing for power, except potentially hurt it a bit because I think the CRV's have cams with less duration and lift to provide more low end torque.

yea man, if anything you lessend your power, the b18 head flows better and has better valvetrain components then a b20 head. for more power you want a b18 head on a b20 block.
