The B has 2 minor advantages:
1. shorter cylinder wall = stronger and stiffer
2. shorter pushrods are much stiffer in the same diameter and wall thickness



if #1 is true, how come i consistently see the same amount of distortion in the cylinders of the low deck blocks as i see in the RB blocks when a honing plate is installed?

re; #2 buy stiffer pushrods for the taller engine if needed.
