"Frank" - b20 block & b16 header

Hi, does anyone did this swap? I want to know what should I do to put a b20 to run with the b16 dohc header.
I have buddy club spec 3+ and I'm reving 9500. Does the stock b20 work with this?
Thanks

Stock B20 won't rev to anywhere near 9500 without turning into smoking lump of metal. Sleeve it and get a killer block girdle, then maybe you can make it to 9k. Sleeve a GSR block to 84mm if you really want to rev that high.

I'm assuming you mean b20 block with a b16 HEAD, not headER. The B20 would be good for 8000 at the most. A local guy who builds nothing but Hondas every day got his b20/vtec to last a couple months, revving it to 8500-9000 every day. When it blew, it took out the whole block and a few valves.

In less words, no, it won't work like you think.
