Default ITR head on b16a2 block

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of installing an ITR head on my b16a2. A friend of mine has an extra, so I'll have access to one. My question is: Will the b16a2 block and internals (especially piston rings) be able to handle higher revs from the ITR head?

Thanks for your input guys!

1- how would a head cause a block to rev higher?
2- the b16 block sucks. you're doing this swap backwards.
3- the b16 is a high revving motor to begin with. how would rings be changed by the head you're running?
4-buy a gsr/itr block. waste of money on a b16 bottom end.

If he's letting you have it for free slap it on and tell us how it feels.

Only difference on this head I believe is the factory port and polish work that was done on the itr heads and dual valve springs, am I right?
