what do you mean orange stuff, like orange silicone RTV??? thats normal if so, alot of people use it in the wrong place. i would manually do a compression test w/ the motor uninstalled, if the numbers are all within a few psi of each other i would install and go from there.

ok, ok.

i also got a d15b i got from someone but i think it has a blown head gasket. the thermostat and everywhere where there was a coolant hoses theres orange stuff.

would i need to resurface or can i just put on a head gasket and go from there.</TD></TR></TABLE>

but d15z1 and d15b share the same blocks. But then again that requires bearing mismatches and a bunch of reassembly and possibly new bearings

which reminds me to update my sig for my new thread

 

where's the d15z1 head?

naw i mean everywhere, where coolant runs. i never seen water jackets like this before, they're are always whiteish/clean.

i pulled the head and it was all over the water jackets too.

take a look...... you think i need a resurface? doesnt looked warped or anything.

btw what car did the d15b's come from? need to know so i can go get a gasket.

never had it. i bought a shell and it came with the dx s20 and d15z1 short block.

 

Need more info.....I'm doing the same thing except with a z6 Head until my boost project is finished. I want to know:

What piston works in the z1?
Can I just through in a z6 crank and rods and pistons, slap in the head, and run the stock p28?

Help out a newb to the z1......

 

What does im stand for I know it's a dumb question but I'm new to Hondas
