racerx Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Will L16 or L20 head gasket fit my L18? Found headgasket for L20 still in pkg., which was part of car I bought any moons ago and have to get the head re-done. I checked Autozone seems like same part number but noticed that somes holes looked different. thx. Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Since L18 and L20B have identical bores, the head gasket is identical. The timing cover gasket is different, however. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 L20 gasket won't fit, but the L20B gasket will fit the L18. 1974 L18 head gasket: VICTOR REINZ Part # 3603 1975 L20B head gasket: VICTOR REINZ Part # 3603 1979 L20B head gasket: VICTOR REINZ Part # 3603 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 L20 gasket won't fit, but the L20B gasket will fit the L18. kinda goes without saying... its always safe to assume whenever someone says L20 they mean L20B ... since theres so many 2000 GT Skylines and Cedrics around here that it necessitates pointing out anytime someone doesnt type "B" 1 Quote Link to comment
