i was wondering if a b16a1 head will work on a b16a block or should i just keep looking for a b16a head and **** on the b16a1 head? and if the b16a1 head is not as good as a b16a what if i had it ported and polished... would it make up for anything?

 

um, u lost me on this one.... there is a b16a and b16a2, but ive never seen one that said b16a1? but i could of missed something i guess.

From what I've heard of Honda's, Just about every B series is compatible - to a point. when changing heads its important to keep same variances the same, like vtec for vtec, sohc for sohc, etc.; Not like non-vtec to vtec, sohc to dohc, etc.

Alot more becomes involved from there out... Really "richly" done mods can be seen in Honda magazines, like Honda Tuning.com, good luck!
