Swappable Heads?
Quick question guys:
I got into a discussion with my brother on the J30-J32A engines, yesterday. My question is: since you can swap B18 heads onto a B16 engine, is it possible to swap the type S J32A heads onto an Accord's J30 block?
Should be doable right?

Re: B18C, B16A Heads
The B18C and B16A heads are not identical. The quench area (the sides of the combustion chamber facing the front and
rear of the engine) are quite a bit different. The deck-height of the B16A block is difference too.
You are correct, in that, the head WILL bolt up to the respective blocks, but the timing belt won't fit and if you arn't careful, you will slap a few valves.
I don't know if the two CL heads are swappable.
