Don't want to dissapoint you but you should listen to some of the other guys. Try to get a partial refund or get the GSR block. Basically what you got is a Civic engine with a gsr head and is better the other way around, a GSR block with b16a head. Not going to get into which head is better since there are tons of opinions.

To make things short, get the GSR block.

Take your car back to wherever you bought it, that is bullshit!
I wuld raise hell and get the motor you thought you were getting.

I knew **** like this would happen someday.

please stop telling me to get a refund and tell me how to make sure i am getting the most power here...i am seeing two options...

1...switch the block and have no money left...
2...build the motor i have...

Rebore what you have, and build it.
Atleast get your displacement up to par, prefferably 2.0 (or just under)
