no..........read the block stamp and to make sure its a b16,, and not something like b18b/b18a......vtec is not that loud though on a stock b16 motor

And nobody cares.

To the OP, check the head code. It should Be a PR3-* (1, 2, 3, 4).

yes it fit but theres no point to put a ls head on a b16 block you will def. expletive something up big time.. adding a nonvtec head onto a vtec block??

plus if u have vtec the head on top of the valve cover would be stamped in be letters VTEC

You can do a B16 head on LS block. You need a different crank or rods or something like that. It's been done a billion times.

B18C1/5 my bad. Misread.

Edit: The thing I said about different crank was mentioned in an LS/VTEC thread, the said combination was questioned. Should have read it before I stated

Edit again: I'm not a moron, I searched. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1676914
