I sure as heck dont see the vtec solenoid.. Sorry about the crappy quality, just want to make sure Im getting a vtec head and not a y7. It says "p2j-1" on the left and "96" on the right of the ex. mani. side of the head. He's trying to sell me the head w/ ecu for 100$

 

looks like it to me

 

yeah, but wheres the vtec solenoid? I sure as heck dont see one. It should be on the left upper hand side of this motor correct?

 

Looks like there isnt one on the head thats why. You could take those off.

Yup.

 

its got the bolts but no solenoid..

 

awesome, thanks guys. 100$ for a head and ecu a fairly good deal?

 

yea thats a good deal..

 

yup where's the solenoid

not sure, I'll ask him tommorow if it comes with it.

 

Awesome deal if he could find the solenoid.

 

good deal

 

im not sure if it is the bad quality of pics, but it looks like it doesnt have any of the valves orthe camshaft/cam gear??

but yeah its a good deal, i would say the ecu alone is worht $100 bucks

 

y8 for 100 w/ ecu is real good

 

I know this is post whoring, but if you need a solenoid I have one. pm me if you need it.

Like everyone said, it has the bolts to where it goes...but is missing the solenoid

 

VTEC selenoid or no, that is a good deal for just $100... as long as the head isn't shot.

Like someone else said, $100 is a good deal for just the ECU, then you are getting a head on top of that!

 

Alright, I think I'll take it then. BTW- to the guy who said you cant see the cam, look on the right side of the head, you can see the cam gear quite easily, and you wouldnt be able to see the vlaves unless you turned over the head.

 

Turn over the head so you can see the chambers. That will tell you if it's a z6 or y8.

You can tell by visually inspecting the chambers? What noticeable differences between the z6 and y8 chambers would I be able to see?

 

Ask him if he has another one too!!! I want one!

the chambers are more circular on the y8 head, i believe. someone correct me if im wrong

The chamber desgin is different. The z6 is circular while the y8's is oval

 

I believe the y8 has the square chambers, slightly higher compression.

 

Yup y8

 

Not to ***** either, but you cant really see the cam too well until you pull the LMA and cam holders/rocker arms.

Cant see the intake side too well, but looks like a y8 to me.
