Hey guys, quick question.

I think the block on my d16y7 has thrown a rod bearing. Instead of having a machine shop have a go at the block, I wanna check my options.

It is OBD2b, and I'm curious if I can mate an older OBD1 D16's block to my y7's head without throwing a code? Is there any new sensors on the OBD2 blocks have that the OBD1 blocks didn't already have or would it be good to go?

This would greatly help me.

Get an A6 short block and go.

So if I throw the a6 block into my car, which is a 99, I won't run into any OBD2 error codes? My #1 thing is I wanna pass emissions, but the only thing I'm worried about is the code throwing. If yes I can without issue, then oh baby.

since you have a y7 get yourself either another y7 y8 or a6 bottom end use all the sensors and emissions equipment from your y7 motor and wal-lah od2b you could even change the head and add vtec ..........there are also a few other minor mods for that to werk
