Got my D16y8 and have some Q's!
 

My old motor is a Z6 and im switchin to the y8, the oil pan on the y8 is messed up and i was wonder if i could use the z6 pan in some way, and all the brackets off the z6?? the y8 only has the PS bracket that i can see. will the z6 brackets fit on the y8?

if you have both motors in front of you, just do trial-and-error.

y8 pan wont work on the z6. i know cause i had a z6 sitting round a friends house and i need a pan for my y8 cause i tapped my o.e. one for oil return and i needed to replace and called honda and they said no. so no they are not compatible, but you can call them for yourself if you feel the need, but i did call them and they did say no. why did you go from z6 to y8? oh yeah someone buy the stuff in my sig please

i blew the z6 and alli could find was a y8. i wish i had gotten a z6 now.

Re: Got my D16y8 and have some Q's! (Soulless)
 

does any onek now if this stuff will fit?

Re: Got my D16y8 and have some Q's! (Soulless)
 

th oil pan from the z6 will work on the y8.. i am using this setup right now...
i had a built z6 with the pan already tapped for the drain back, so i just used that pan on my new engine build up, which was y8 out of a 97 EX...
so the answer is yes... honda said no because they are 2 different part #'s on the two...

trail & error work wonders...
