Default about the b18c valve train

out of a '96 VTiR integra (GSR in the states?).

to swap into a b16a head to fit to a b20b block?

will the cams be a good upgrade + the springs and retainers? will it be a straight swap? will i have to swap the valves also?

OR

should i jsut use the b18c head on the b20b block?

it is costing approx $500 US for the whole b18c long block.

is there a crank girdle on hte b18c? can i use this too? is the water pump better?

thanks for any opinions/experiences

i would go with the GSR head cause it will add more compression. and its only 500 US for the long block damn thats cheap

yeah, compression 0.2 higher ?!?! forgot about that

cheap? cool! just trying not to look the gift horse in the mouth (whatever that means...)

plus the B18C is alot better than the old B16A head isnt it?
