However, this doesn't equate to low engine torque and drivability (high cam don't like low engine speeds), so having two cams helps(this is the core idea of vtec in it's simplest form)If you compare wira 1.6 engines, can observe how the honda engine has lower torque, yet with the extra rpm, can use that lower torque efficiently by having proper gear ratio and 8K rpm.But in truth, honda is not known only for their engine performance, but it's ability to stand to abuse.. imagine how many pre92 and 92+ B16/B18A/B/C still running around at 8-8.5K rpm, and you have the answer to that.I myself have a 92 B16A, and my ring gaps at 81mm are still 0.16" with meter at more than 200,000kms on the odometer, at the standard bore size, no less.Performance wise, yes, can be improved, but I'm not the type to throw away a perfectly working shortblock just to go 2L, not esp. when it has served as my daily driver for so long.Anyway, you'd be hard pressed to find a new car that can outrun an OLD stock b16A equipped civic, unless it costs more than 100K. (a lot more), which is why halfcuts can sell at 10K+, and there's still people who would buy it, although at smaller volumes.Anyway, for all intents and purposes (daily driving), the b16a is good enough, a tune adjustment for it's well known lack of low end torque, a slight bump up in compression when you service head gasket/valve grind, it makes a car that is drivable enough, yet with the extra grunt at top end when you want to overtake lorries on hills by just dropping a gear (or two)If there is a need for power, then a B20B block is just another few thousand <img src="https://zerotohundred.com/forums/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smokin.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":smokin:" title="Smokin    :smokin:" data-shortname=":smokin:" /></blockquote>
