Default b20 block and b16a head

quick question, i have an option to get a b16 head but the combustion chamber has been increased to a 84.5 mm bore, and my block is the stock 84 mm bore. Is this a problem?? i heard the b20 head gasket is 84.5 but still thats not going to be the best combustion chamber, Right? and input would be great

I would reccomend getting a regular 81mm B16 head for the quench area........higher compression=more power making ability

well i already have a fully built bottom end with JE pistons pumping an amazing 12.5:1 ratio, but i will have to CC the head to get a dome volume to calcuate my final compression ratio. i think i will be okay.
