What was the piston to valve clearance that you measured to come to this conclusion?

The only difference in an a1 and b1 is in the heads.
The bottom ends are the same.

92-93 b18a1 is obd1 and 90-91 is obdo i believe.
However, the b18a1 came with a cable clutch and your car has hydraulic, that may be a problem.

Can you simply bolt up a hydro tranny to a b18a1? Anyone?

*btw, i forgot to mention, you should look for a gsr, or b16 tranny. These have a lot shorter gears and you'll be quite a bit faster than with an ls tranny.

if i have to do cable then i guess i will, but if hydro works i'll go that way, b16 or gsr tranny, guess i'll start looking.

if my car is made for hydro tranny is it a pain to put a cable in?
