   Wrong valve clearances.... you would need to use VTS pistons iirc

   iirc you can use a vts head on a vtr bottom end but u have to get some oil lines drilled as tehy dont all line up, from what i can remember the valve clearence are ok tho but i would suggest that its cheaper to just buy the vts engine complete

   as said you need vts pistons as they're rebated (vtr ones aren't), you also need vts pulleys, oil return on the bottom end which the vtr doesnt have. personally wouldn't bother, sell the vtr engine and buy a vts one or just sell the car.
