Default B18 block with B16 head: will it blow up?

I have an LS B18B engine stock. I'm about to put on a B16A head for an LS Vtec. Can you run this block and this head completely stock together? And what is the max RPM to remain reliable and not blow up?

From the way you ask, I'm going with yes it will blow up

Follow these simple instructions and you'll be straight

simply slapping a stock vtec head on a stock b18b dont rev higher than the stock b18b rev limit ~6800rpm.

So will I have any valve/piston contact problems with stock specs?
