do you have a b16b or a b16a

they all have the same head, only differences are the cams,valvetrain and a mild port on the CTR/ITR

it will make more power is the short answer

how did you "blow" your top end and not have damage to anything else

Swapping heads won't make much of a difference from what I understand. As stated before, the only real differences in the heads themselves is a mild port for GSR and ITR heads. You'd make a tiny amount of power (I think a 1-2hp gain), but not enough to constitute the price difference.

b16a head will do fine and cost a lot less than b18c5 head. is any of the b16b head salvagable?

if you have a loud knocking i wouldn't try to perform a compression test. it might do more damage. it sounds like you need to just go ahead and pull the head and see how extensive the damage is.
