Default Re: B16 Block Help

Chugger is right. I very rarely condemn rod/stroke ratios, but the b16 block has a much lower deck height than a ls, gsr, r block that will ultimetly result in prematurly worn rings, walls, and you will have some oil control issues very soon.

The rod angle with this setup is so great that the piston will actually attempt to "tilt" and becomes unstable during up and down strokes. There have been a couple kids on HT that have tried this and have had the same result.

If your not looking for a lot of power, but still have a fun car, buy some aftermarket pistons, upgrade rods (bolts), AND your valvetrain and rev the motor to 9500 all day.

Good luck
