ok got a question for you guys
alright i was asked to help this kid get his civic running he has a B16a block with a B18a non vtec head and wants to know why it wont start. i have told him to check his timing and to make sure it is all lined up
BUT HERE IS MY QUESTION
I have build 4 motors now but i have never seen a B16a block with a B18a head
will they mate up and work???

It will bolt up, and even run. You might just have a nice big oil leak at the rear of the block though. VTEC blocks have an oil passage back there that mates up with VTEC heads. Non-VTEC blocks and heads do not have them.

Just like B19 said, yes they will mate up, but what is the point?

i was just checking, i have built a poor mans type R but thats a b18 block with a b16 head.
i have just never seen it switched around. so i was just seeing if it would really work.

itll run but hes gonna have a nice sized oil leak right where the vtec solenoid would be if he was using the right head. hes better off just getting ahold of a b16 head and slapping it on.
