I wish I could take back the questions I've asked once I learnt the answers.

Me too, although I've also been lucky enough to get some great advice in exchange for my dumb questions.

Someone may confirm, but I read somewhere the nb8b has a slightly different configuration and requires a 8A head gasket to take advantage of the "coolant reroute"?

For the SE, which has a variant of the 8a head, then the NA8 head gasket is the go.
I'm not sure what works for the 8b/c VVT head which is different again.
