So what then, if I took a B18B, and used rods from a B16A? I would basically destroke the engine, no?
No. Stroke comes from the crank, not the rods. You would change the rod to stroke ratio, but not the stroke.
Ultimately, rods must be matched to the crank in order to be the proper length. In order to destroke or stroke an engine, you need a custom crank paired with custom length rods.
To destroke a b18b, you could use b16
B rods and crank, but not b16a. The b16b uses an Integra block.
