ID on head '97 coupe
Hello all, I have a 97 civic that I have recently picked up. Its a real nice little car, has some suspension work done and i was looking and my engine bay today and noticed i have the factory d16y7 block which I am pretty sure was originally non vtec.. I bought the car because it has a headgasket leak and I was looking at it today, I see a vtec solenoid not wired up and I tried to find a head part # but all i found on her was p08-2 and faintly in junkyard marker its says 1993Y and D15B....could anyone ID this head, is it junk?

Sounds like you have the D15B if you have a VTEC solonoid. No, D15B's are not junk. JDM D15b's are the highest HP D-series motor that come stock from the factory as far as i know.

Re: (97Ej6mike)
well the block is a d16y7 block, but the head as a solenoid on the left side (standing in front) which I would assume was a vtec solenoid but the wire from the sole. runs to the plug and then the plug is open ended. So the solenoid is deffinatly not being powered.

Re: (evildeadbadguy)
OK updated...found the part number it is a d16z6 head (d16y7 block) but it looks like they swapped the z6 head on and did not bother hooking up the vtec or swapping intake manifolds (my intake manifold is ****)
any suggestions on wha i should do to utilize this head?
