Default 84.5mm pistons in b16a...reconfigure head?

Hey eveyone,

I'm sure that this has been covered before, but i'm having a hard time finding a link. Can someone help me out. I just want to know if i get 84.5mm piston in a b16a do i need to reconfigure the head? I know that wesico offers a 84.5mm piston for a b20 and it says that its for a b16a head. So is this saying that its made for a stock b16a head? If someone can help me out. That would be great.

Thanks.

I just think that its kind of weird that you don't have to reconfigure? Trever, do you know anyone using this setup? What about anyone else there, know someone using this setup? I just want to know if this is a good idea.

Thanks Everyone.

tom fujita at portflow (he's the man) answered my same question by saying : "leave the head alone" = do not mod it for the larger bore block!! do whatever other headwork you would do, but leave it alone
