Re: B18C rods and pistons into LS
It is much easier to remove material from something than it is to add it.
LS, B16, and B17 rods are all wider than the B18C rods by about 0.040" Too much side clearance == no oil control and dead bearings in no time flat.

Re: B18C rods and pistons into LS
Didnīt remove the GSR pistons and rods from the LS block and install a B16 head, now the engine have no problems, pistons didnīt hit the head, love when vtec engages, all works perfect.
Right now i am driving the car and feels ok, also make a compression test with this results
Piston 1 -- 170
Piston 2 -- 177
Piston 3 -- 170
Piston 4 -- 170
Letīs see the car how it feels on the track

I have 185 across on my LS motor was a just tiny bit warm, because I waited (testing my bros car) for 45mins after running it.
Now his compression came out to 135 across an a brand new 2.2L B18c1. Rings weren't sealing yet.
