1) I have seen b18c block being mated with b16a or b16b head and was wondering what are the benefits of this setup? Will it produce more power through the rev range or just the top end? I believe this will increase the compression ratio of the engine but I could be wrong.
2) I have also read about b16a block being fitted with a b18c head. I am not sure whether this is possible but what are the benefits of doing this modification?
3) I see many ppl fit type-r cams whether its b16a or b18c, is this a worthwhile upgrade?
4) As I am planning to get a Civic fitted with a b18c engine, what should I look out for during inspecting the car or test driving it?
5) How do i know whether the fitted head AND block is from a type r model - b16b or b18c5r?
6) I have heard that the distributor of the b series engines are a weak link to the otherwise strong engine. How true is this and what can be done to avoid distributor related failures?
7) Any thing else taht I should know of?? he he he
I know there are a lot of questions and i will be grateful if someone could help me out with answering them.
Thanking all of you in advance.
