i have a b16a too and u can try to adjust valve springs

 

Have a machine shop check the pistons and the cylinder bores to iff if those pistons will work in your block.

 

Well I get pics of the messed up piston and better angles of the pistons

Doesn't necessarily mean they will be GOOD in the block.

Well you don't know the true bore size, or if your cylinders are perfectly round or not.

It'd be a shame to buy new rings, build the engine, only to find that it smokes or has wriost pin slap/rattle because either your engine was overbored slightly and those pistons are a touch too small, or that your cylinders were egg shaped and it needed a rebore/hone and new oversized pistons.

 

I'm not slapping the motor together. I know how to build one its getting honed out and everything Checked out . Cause I would be hella mad if it smoked after it all put together

 

Are you replacing exhaust valve guides and all of the valvestem seals?

If not it may still smoke even if the bottom end is solid.
