since stock head is 106.

my take on it is that if you can get alot of the stuff for either REAL cheap or FREE then go for it, it would also give you the practice to becoming a master mechanic cuz youll end up learning alot from your mistakes.

yes it can be done, no its not worth it. the y8 has more things then just the head that are different compared to the y7, so you wont be getting 20hp. more like 5.
