Piston/valve clearance question..
If we use ITR pistons in a B18A black, with a B16A head, will there be any clearance issues or will it be ok?
2001 ITR pistons/rings
1993 B18A block
1991 B16A head
Thanks in advance

Re: Piston/valve clearance question.. (CanuckCRX)
You'll be fine with VTEC pistons. Reason being is because the valve relief is deeper on the VTEC pistons, giving more clearance. If you look at a SiR/Type R piston next to a LS/B20 piston, you'll see how shallow the LS/B20 piston valve relief is, and you'll know why it's not really recommended to run "big" cams with those pistons. Check out what I posted up yesterday, and the pict I threw up (the marks on the intake side of the piston) - https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=504965
