I don't remember there being anything special in a "kit" for a B18 vs. early B20. Engine block-wise they are virtually identical excepting the cylinder bore and pistons. The heads are different.

If you can just re-ring your B18, you may be able to purchase the rings directly from Deves. I did that years ago for my B16 that was already overbored 0.060". If you have to bore out the engine, you will have to find new (or used) pistons. I have a couple of used B18 sets. Can give you the details if you want. Neither will get you to 2 litres though if that is what you're looking for.
