You should be able to, Honda has virtually the same wrist pin, rod big-end space, press-fit, and compression height dimensions for all b-series. CTR is about the only exception.

The B17 is the same block dimensions as the B16, only it has a longer stroke for more displacement. The rods must be shorter, to make up for that space. Honestly I'd suggest you find a B17 crank and use the rods you have. That will get you more torque, which will really help that b16.

x2. also itll be easier to find a B17a crank & sell your B16a crank than it will be to sell your B17a rods.

good luck finding a b17 crank. not easy to come by. anything to deal with a b17 is hard to find.

Yes you can use the pistons from the B17 in your B16. I actually have GSR C1 pistons in my B17. If you do go with your B16 rods, I'll snag them B17 ones from you. Crower I would assume, seeing as they are the only company that makes them for the B17.
