hi, i have a 94 del sol with a b16a3 engine with oversize pistons (0.20) i was wondering if i can put a cylinder head from a honda crv 99 (2.0) and what parts i would have to change on my car.
thanks

Your not going to gain anything, you'll actually hurting performance. Just because its from a 2.0 doesnt make it better.

yeah, very pointless swap... just throw the complete B20 in there... get a 99+ crv [or was it 98+ I forget] longblock and throw it in there... it'll be more fun than the gutless B16... the 96-98 B20 will be fun, but it's a little more gutless than the newer ones.

or you could throw the B16 head on the B20 block for some more fun

keep the b16 the way it is and turbo it!

epic fail.

You can't put a B-series head on a K-series block they are designed very different and will not fit. Also why the K20A3? The performance isn't much better than a B16 and there are better K-series engines out there.
