yeah it will, u will have to use a y7/y8 head bolt on the very back left ( intake side nearest to throttle body) mite run like crap... that head will raise compression to 10:5 almost

im curious im taking b2 internals inside a b6 block and the crank everything and using a y7 head im in an extremely bad spot and need to. kinda sucks but need to there are no b2s anwhere near me and no vehicle and there arnt any civics in any junk yards near whatsoever either, wouldnt d16 head bolts be shorter and possibly strip. a freind of mine tourqued it down to spec and it stripped it trying that, is the one bolt a diffrent spec i just want a reasoning ive done it to my b2 block before with all b2 bolts and wasnt an issue till a friend overheated it and it raised just curious dumb fun Honda ****
