d17 VTEC Head on d17 Non VTEC block
 

Do I need to put the whole gasket set to do this swap or do i need just the head gasket? Meaning to put a d17 VTEC head on D17 non VTEC block.

I would replace all the gaskets on the EX head before butting it on. You wanna freshen up the head as best you can before dropping it on to avoid any potential problems later on down the road.

You should be replacing the head gasket with your swap. As for the coolant passages, I'm not sure if they are different, but I personally wouldnt run a EX head with an LX gasket and risk blocking anything. Get the EX gasket and give yourself some peace of mind.

I have a brand new EX gasket pack that I never used when doing my head swap. If your interested, I can ship it to you for cheap- it includes EVERYTHING you could ever possibly want to swap out on the head as far as gaskets and seals. PM me if your interested.

sure how much is cheap? at AutoZone it is $150 for the whole kit (gaskets,studs,seals,etc) so how cheap is yours? and how much would shipping be?
