No prob man. As for the cam, if see if that one damaged section is touching the rocker arm. If it is, I would not use it. Is it the same cam that came with the head? Carefully inspect that rocker if so. And damage on the cam lobe can easily transfer damage to the rocker.

 

ok just checked to see and it is isnt touching the rocker arm at all

 

Why is the cam blue tinted. In the H series world, only type s/ euro r cams are blue tinted

 

honestly if i had to guess i would say that it over heated

 

will a cat back for a del sol work on my car? the bends look exactly the same

 

Alright now that's something google can answer quickly but I'm 99% sure it won't. On an eg, the bend over the LCA is off and causes interference, and I think the del sol exhaust is even different from that. Going off my google search. I am pretty sure that the mid pipe will be the wrong length too

 

i know its been a while since i have posted anything still collecting parts and have been looking for a decent vtec solenoid and i came across this what do you guys think ? Honda Civic vtec D16Y8 Solenoid 96 00 EX | eBay

 

That looks pretty old and beat up. I think you could find a better one for a few more bucks

 

ok so im back with another stupid question this

and always thanks for the help

 

ok so i just saw this on ebay and said **** it

1 6 Honda Civic Del Sol Cylinder Head P2J vtec D16Y8 1996 1997 | eBay

there goes my head issue and it comes with a head gasket set

 

new parts have just arrived

 

Has there been any progress on this build? I'm really interested in seeing the results. I'm in a bit of a similar situation. The D16 I have has head issues. Mini me seems like a fun alternative.

 

no progress yet i decided to go another rout im building a bottom end and going for boost

 

Ahhh ok. Cool deal. Seemed like a really cool project. I'm in the process of amassing parts for my build and I found good information here. Hope to see what you come up with.

 

What are you planning on the bottom end build? I have a y8 build in progress to boost next year.. I ended up with so much extra parts im going to do a mini me build afterwards too lol so r u still running the stock y7?

 

I'm planning on using ls rods since i don't wanna have to notch the block and girdle. That and since it has been very well documented that ls rods can handle well over 300 wheel hp. Seeing as how i dont want more then 300hp mainly because i think that any more then that and it wont be fun to drive it on the street any more from traction issues.

 

Oh hell yeah the ls rods r way beefier when put next to some d16 rods lol. 300 is a nice goal, you have anything planned for turbo? I But idk if i agree on that last part.. My buddys 440hp coupe is a lot of fun haha, yeah you sacrifice some things but with boost by gear he only had 195/45r15 toyo proxes at first and they really didnt slip too much.. But sounds like u got a nice hybrid build planned and thats pretty sweet, i love saving the singles, goodluck man no doubt

 

yeah actually i just purchased a holset hy35 that im more then likely going to be using once im ready for boost

 

Nice i am considering a hy35 for when i try to reach my final goal

 

i got mine on ebay for 300 cant beat that
