Oou, how well does that swap turn out? Is the block height bigger than b16? Not thought about B18 head?

Turns out very well, lots of torque.

The heads between the B series are all very similar, the block is slightly taller. Have a read here, lots of info here:

Cool, sounds tempting ;) Thanks. I always worry about ground clearance with these longer blocks though. :?

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id= ... 4592357895 , that is my best lap so far in the ring, i know that theres too much braking, but the time was 10.13 with about 30 second yellow flag, so i am happy :) i need 8 more laps, to remember the track, and then would be posible to go around 9 min :eyes:

I'd love to go to the ring.

Massive trek though.

Is it expensive?

hm, it depends how you think. 4 laps is 75euro, that's about 70 pounds, and it's really enough for one day, my self, wanted 2 more after 4 i have done :) 4 laps is 60 miles, so it is what you would do in a proper track day!
