pistons

[highperboi]

i just picked up a b18a1 from work and it needs new pistons and rings, and i wanted to know if gsr pistons will fit?

 

[B16]

yes they will fit, however i would suggest B16 pistons

 

[RS1]

would the b18a1 head be able to handle the high compression of the b16 tho?

 

[jamesA]

wouldn't the B16 pistons actually lower compression? (B18 pistons would theoretically have a longer stroke than the B16 pistons.) Stroke is also determined by the crankshaft. So i dunno.

No. The B16 pistons have a larger dome.

What knowledge? I just talk out my ass most of the time.

And it just happens that you're still right when doing so

Nah, it's just those teleporting cats doing random things on the keyboard again.
