you are forgetting one thing....


people like ls/vtecs and b18c's for their torque.


b16's have a stroke of only 77mm

even b17's only have 81mm



even if you do get them resleeved for (which is not cheap)

you still have the problem of short stroke.

would it not be easier to just get a b18a/b and use arp bolts and studs?

if done correctly anything is reliable...

i choose the b18 method because i like my torque
