Well I was at sac raceway this weekend and my bottom end blew after running my 14.0@92mph. I was wondering if anyone knows if I can use a B17 head and a B16 block? Will they go right together? I am planning on running my B17 block or building an ls/vtec in the future but right now I need it to get me around. I would appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Carl Z.
:uhoh:
B16 head = B17 head. They’re the same.
Thanks

The b-series vtec heads go like this…
PR3 - B16A1, B16A2, B16A3, B17A1, B18C5
P72 - B18C, B18C1
Also, the ITR head (B18C5) has a port & polish job out of the factory.
Later,

also ITR comes with dual valve springs on both intake sides, but the retainers are the same
