I stand by my numbers. EVERYTHING I have ever read or researched CLEARLY states that a B16 is a 77mm stroke. The B16 and the B17 ARE NOT THE SAME CASTING. Go find a B17 and measure it but the DECK HEIGHT IS DIFFERENT. But lets forget the whole b17 scenario...I have seen 3 different Rod sizes and 2 different Deck heigts for an engine that was USA only and only for 1-2 model years...
The way I calculate it the deck height difference between the B16 and the B18C is actually 9mm.

Meaning an 87.2 mm crank will fit in a b16a block with the b18c rods if the ring package was moved up 7mm or so. This would keep the 1.58 rod ratio this is how the toda b16a stroker kit is set up also.
Huh? Move the rings up to fit longer rods? Im lost. You would actually have to relocate the wrist pin and modify the top of the rod and even then I doubt you could get 9mms. I dont think this is what Toda does. It doesnt add up. Pistons would be popping out of the block with that set-up.
anybody else wish to chime in and give their thoughts???
