i searched and searched and searched for 50 minutes now...d16y8 into eg, d16y8 swap, d16z6 blah blah blah and i wanted to know if i could just throw a y8 bottom end into an eg and use a d16z6 head on top of that. would i need a y8 head gasket? would the timing be off? and if any wires need to be rewired. oh yeah and use what kind of timing belt.

 

just use the y8 block with Z6 everything else....

 

i believe the head gasket for the z6 and y8 are the same thickness (0.037 in) and correct me if im wrong but i also believe you use the z6 timing belt.

 

k bumps...need to know for sho.

 

the y8 gasket is metal... so just use it... i believe its a hair thinner.... and you DO use the Z6 timing belt
