Well, you posted jack **** in form of a question, but I'll take a stab at this anyway...

If you are talking about a mini-me swap, then yes, it can be done. You need the head from a D16Z6 (92-95 sohc) or D16Y8 from a 96+ sohc VTEC. You won't need to run any additional oil lines or anything. I think this will work for the SOHC ZC's. I'm not sure about the DOHC ZC's, as I know very little about these motors. Someone else care to clarify? (Including the original poster, wtf do you want to know about this?)

Distributer problem? Have that checked out. Other than that, check for vacuum leaks and such. Good luck
