oh and make sure you change the timing belt just incase:p

[dougie_504]

What series of B16A? B16A2 just like your's or just B16A from the older JDM models (IE EF8 and EF9).

'B16A' generally refers to the JDM B16A IMO and that won't legally fit into your engine unless you just take the B16A head and slap it onto the B16A2 bottom end (in which case you'll pretty much never get caught).
