Have you test fitted the header on the motor?
You are correct, for the most part. B16 application headers CANNOT fit B18's normally. But the B16b is the exception. The CTR has the same deck heighth as a B18, so the header will (or let me say SHOULD) fit exactly like a B18 header.
And I will be test fitting the header in just a couple of hours just to make sure.
