I found that my car has a blown head gasket,so I going to put the extra y8 head on my car.Here are some ?? I have,the car is a 91 dx w/ a d15b2.What head gasket to us(y8 i,think),what timming belt.I hear on some head/block combos the timming will be 1/2 tooth off,is this true in my case if so what will I have to do to correct it.Anyone willing to help me out?I thank you in advance for any insight.

use the y8 belt ... and the y8 gasket

[crazycameleon]

What about the timming being a 1/2 tooth off?

[S Q A D]

umm ... ive heard people using z6 timing belts ... cause the y8 is a 1/2 tooth off .

[crazycameleon]

Thats cool,just bought a complete z6 for 200.Thanks.

the timing belt has nothing to do with the cam timing. here is a suggestion. did you buy the whole z6 motor or just complete head? if you just got the head i would suggest useing a z6 head and then use the y8 cam. the y8 cam in a z6 head is 4.75 deg off so there for you timing will be right and you will have a performance increase thanks to the y8 cam. i will be installing a y8 cam into my z6 head that is on my 1.5 block this weekend. if i have the time i might even add a 50-60 shot to it as well.

oh yeah and always use the timing belt that matches the head you are useing.

thats what i thought .. always use the timing belt of the head your swapping .. it seems like the most logical answer

[crazycameleon]

Alright so I got the z6.I want to put the y8 head on the z6 block what will I have to do to make timing correct?????

[simplypinoyy]

replacing the z6 head from a d16z6 (which is vtec already) with a y8 head( another vtec head) ? i've never heard of that before... always heard that the z6 was the better head out of the two

buy a adjustable cam gear. and yeah the z6 is a better head.

[crazycameleon]

The y8 head I have has less miles and my stock distrib will bolt right up with no Ghetto rigin.

[S Q A D]

maybe before you put it on .. get it ported, honed, and hot tanked ... that way at least it will flow better than a stock z6 ... make the swap actually worth something ..

d15b2 distributor will not work with MPFI you must get d16a6 distributor

[FMYStreetRacer]

hf will work to.

[crazycameleon]

Yeah thats waht I meant I already converted to mpfi and have the si distrib.
