will a b17 head work on a b16 block?

 

any b series head is interchangeable with another b series head..

I believe B16, B17 and Type-R all share the same head (Type-R has mild factory porting).

GSR is different than the rest. It will still bolt on, but your compression will change.

 

my bad.. just having a little fun..

thay all use the same gasket(vtec)

 

yea it will work and it would be kind of cool b17's are pretty rare

 

you'd basically be swapping one head for the exact same one with maybe a different vavletrain. what's the point?

unless you dont have a head on the block.

 

you should put a b16 head on a b17 block. that might be a little more beneficial.

 

lol. thanks you guys have been alot of help. what would the advantage of b17 head vs. b16 head on b16 block?

 

the gs-r heads are not interchangeable due to the dual butterfly in the intake manifolds.


also i think the b16a head has more compression then the b17

b16a,b17a,b18c5 are the same heads and then dont add more compression.
only the gsr(b18c1)will add .2 of compression

nothing significant.

and what would that have to do with bolting the head to the block? nothing.
