---->Y8 head on Z6 block<----***FIXED***mods could you add this to the faq's thread
I tried the serch function but it's not working.I just put a Y8 head on my Z6 cause the po8 head was warped beyond repair and it was replaced with a Y8(pj2) head.And now I'm having some misfiring issues and hesitation in the lower rmp range.I installed a y8 dizzy cause the z6 would'nt fit.It has a new rotor,cap,plugs and wires.I read somewhere that I would have to use the cam gear of my z6 head is this true?Also the dizzy was used but the ignition module was new.

Match your cam with its correct gear, y8 with y8 and z6 with z6. If you have a y8 cam and a z6 adjustable cam gear, you need to advance 4.5 degrees. In your situation just make sure that you have a y8 camgear and be done. Then you have the timing to worry about and thats another bag of noodles to get into. Read all of this...especially the last post!!

The differences between the z6 and the y8 distributor harness is the plug. The wires are the same. The z6 has 2 plugs and the y8 has one...So Im not sure what generation civic your workin with, but your goal is to obviously make it so it will plug in. Usually people just swap the plugs by cutting and soldering.

good looking out man,there was alot of great info in that thread.I wonder why it's not in HT faq's thread?So this is what I gathered so far"you can run a z6 cam in a y8 head. just use the cam gear that matches your ecu. the cams are essentially the same....the notches are in the same place on them. the only difference is the cam gear."

You got it all wrong. When you mismatch cams and heads, you have to have an adjustable cam gear to put it all back in spec. Also the y8 and z6 cams are different. Just match your cam with its correct cam gear and time it correctly. That will get you close since your ecu is going to start messing with the timing...that where having something like an s300 will come into play for you to make timing table to match your needs.

The timing belt is different on the z6 verses the y8 which are you using?
Which ecu are you using? are you still obd1? z6 harness?
Nevermind on the cam belt I see where you say your using the z6 cam gear..
