I have a 96 lx D16Y7. Has a wrist pin knocking. I have a D15 short block. I wanna swap my Y7 head to D15 block. I haven't found a complete write up on this. Just parts of others Frankenstein build. I have head gasket kit timing kit and water pump kit for a D15Y7 build. Can any one give me a complete write up on this from popping hood to turning key after build. Please and thank you

If I may ask, how do you know it's wrist pin knock?

Also, it would be helpful if you can provide more information on the D15 block. There are a few different ones with different piston designs. That will play a role in your franken build.

as long as the block has 4 valve reliefs per piston, and isnt a z1, itll work. the timing kit for a d15xxx is not the one to use. you'll need the d15 pump/tensioner, but the y belt. oil jet needs removed from the b7 block, etc etc. follow the y8 mini me write up, it is the same head casting, and thus the same process.

Okay finally got started on this build. I have a D15B7 short block. Y7 head is from my bad D16Y7 that was in my 98 lax civic. I have Y7 tore down just needs cleaned up. I bought Y7 head gasket kit and water pump kit. Can any one provide a detailed walk Thur for this?

you need the pump and belt tensioner for the block. belt should be y7/8 this guide will be basically the same for your setup, same head casting. Dan's MASSIVE D15B8/D16Y8 MiniMe Write Up! | HondaSwap
