the B16 doesnt havethe same deck heigt its 0.300-inch lower then the B18's the Only differencein the B16B is the B18 Rods with B16 Pistons it adds higher rpm for sustained high rpm power.
Long Rod Theory Subscribe to it !! It gets a better Rod STroke ratio. B18/20 and B16 blocks are very different deck wise. You can stroke a B16 to a 1.8L or Bore it to be 1.8L but will never be a B18. Or anywheres close. Just buy a B18C block.
