What the? Stoke of the head ? look if you put a gsr head on a b16 block more compression.
the head does not change the stoke.
It's a wooden pickle.

because if you look at his original question, he asked if he could put an LS head on a b16 block... no matter if it raises compression or not (not sure if it would, i hope no one has tried to find out...) it still doesn't make any damn sense to put a non vtec head on a vtec block... all that does is cut power.

Yes...gsr head on b16 ups compression....but like saggle said..thats not what he originally asked...unless he typed the question wrong or something...but as for the gsr on b16...That is the setup I have..its not totally stupid to do...I thought it was at first...but now with only a skunk2 mani and an aem short ram..I have sick top end power ....but bottom end torque is COMPLETELY not there.
