From what i understand, its the same valvetrain as a B16, with just a 4mm longer stroke, yeilding the extra 6 ft/lb of torque, and the extra 8 hp. Thats as i see it though. Maybe give honda a call and ask a reputable tech, or your favorite speed shop might not know. If no one in your area knows their stuff, look up hidden performance in st. louis, call and talk to steve boehm. He knows his ****
