easy answer...

one is for a d16z6 and the other for a d16y8.

but really, the combustion chamber is smaller in the y8 and the y8 has more quench area to resist detonation.

also, the z6 has tumble ports (which are better suited for "top end") while the y8 head has swirl ports.

Also, Aside from the back corner Headbolt, can I use the Z6 Distributor, wires, plugs and Vtec solinoid?

No. The z6/z1 distributor only works on the z6/z1. I see this question 2-3 times a week.

I had read the y8 Distributor can be altered to work on a Z6 head, can I do this the other way around? will the plugs and wires still work? If I get a Y8 Distributor, can it work with my OBD1 ECU and harness?
