My threaded holes on my d16z6 head are stripped so I need to buy a new head. Which heads can fit the d16z6?

Z6. Plug and play.

How do I change the thread title....

Plug and play means???? I can put any head on it?

Former User

I believe Marc was just stating the obvious -- Z6 head on Z6 block = plug and play.

Let me rephrase. Is there any reason you aren't looking for a Z6 head specifically?

I once had a DX with a z6 block mated to the original B7 head. I swear to god it got 45+mpg.

Red_Army

cool story.

but this is z6 to z6.
id keep the z6 head unless like marc said there's a reason you want a different head.

Sounds like op is in over his head already...buy another z6 head bro

Just asking to see if I have any other options to fix the motor.

Lou_EM1

ANY D15/16 head will fit.

Wrona

just get a z6 head...

why does the motor need a new head just wondering

NotAJDMFanBoy

Z6 or Y8 will work. You'd need to either run the z6 cam or a Y8 cam with an adjustable cam gear and move it 4.5* since they earlier motors and later motors differed in their cam design or something.

Read the first original question to see why it needs to be fixed....

"Stopped"? As in bolts broken off in them? If that's the case why not have them drilled out and re-tapped?

rice117

one bolt broke off then drilled (which tore the screw hole apart) and the others are stripped from the previous owner tightening them too much. i think this is also the cause of my oil pressure problem but not totally sure....

the PO8 head is what you need for the d16z6 motor you can also go to andys autosport and upgrade if thats the way you want to go .... and have the $ lol

if i am wrong sorry just trying to help
