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.
The B16B does have the same deck height as the B18s, the B16A does not.
