engine help

Hoping someone can help..
I'm putting a B16B head on a B16A bottom end, I have the b16b pulleys still.
I'm under the impression the B16 water and oil pump are the same for both?
I'm confused as to whether I'll need a b16 A or B headgasket and timing belt kit however, can anyone shed any light? I'm guessing if I'm using the B16B pulleys, I can get the 16B kit?
And no idea on if the headgaskets are the same

If anyone could shed some light that would be great!

There all the same.. Head gaskets the same and timing belts are the same

the b16b timing belt is longer than the b16a belt. Use the belt kit for whatever block you are using, in your case a b16a. Head gaskets like above are all the same, just make sure you use a genuine one. Oil pumps are interchangable also

As above - timing belt will be block specific, as the different deck heights will determine belt length

As above, b series head gaskets are the same, can use a b18c one if you like. Makes no difference.
The pulleys should be the same I would have thought, it's just the deck height of the b16a is different to the b16b/b18c.
So as already mentioned use a block specific belt and you'll be fine.
Obviously worth a new tensioner while you at it.
