why, why does everyone go with a b16a
take it from me - they are torque less wonders

but i'm not sure of the advantages because i always thought VTEC rods were stronger than non-vtec - maybe the rods are bigger and can handle more - i dunno i'm speakin from my *** on this one - but why a b16

actually pr4 rods wont work in a b16 block.
the b16 block is 7mm shorter that other b series
doesnt matter what crank you use(and only b17 and b16 fit;crank yournals are wider)
