How dependable is a b20 Vtec (b18c head) for Daily Driving Please!!!

your sig makes me vomit
anyway, you want to ditch the b20 pistons, and get some b16/type r / other pistons, and basically, you can do it, its the exact same as an ls/vtec. you should start reading now. check the link in my sig, learn about what you gotta do, and search for b20vtec
http://www.b20vtec.com
http://www.c-speedracing.com
and if you do it right i have heard people's lasting from 40K to 80K, depends on how you build it, maintain it, and how you treat it.
BTW, what did you "blow up" in your GSR? spun rod bering? misshifted? what?

I know where you can get a completely built b20 bottom for 2200 
it will last to. Fresh bearings, endyne 12:1 pistons, eagle H rods, knife edges crank and aluminum pulley. All that you need to do is pick up a dash 4 oil line I believe and tap your stock GSR head. Depending on what you blew you should be able to still use the GSR head from your old motor. Well I am just assuming because most the time the crank or rod bearings are what go... as far as relaibility before this motor was built it was ran daily on the street and did nothing but whip ***!!

I thought the b20 block was an 84mm bore and the other b series blocks were 81mm bores?
