thinking of putting civic or integra pistons in b18a

will there be any clearance problems and are the civic typeR pistons to high of a cr

The PCT pistons will go in just fine but you will need to shave either the pistons or the rods a little bit to allow proper fitment.
The CR of PCT pistons (standard bore) in an unmilled b18a is 11.4:1.
