does anyone know if a D16Y8 2 - layer head gasket will work with an a6 block and z6 head?

 

yes it will work and is much better than the shitty "paper" a6 style gaket, it will raise compression slightly and using the layered metal style gasket makes it more important to have the head and block surfaces perfectly flat to ensure a good seal

oh and the y8 i believe is a 3 layer HG, no need to remove the middle layer like some do, it wont raise the compression any significant amount and decreases the sealing ability by my logic....honda made it 3 layers for a reason and i have faith in honda engineering

 

im running the y8 HG on my zc with no problems, also ARP's are installed.

 

I have been told that B16A2- head gasget will fit to D16- Dohc engine (D16a9). Only modification is one oil/ water hole?

Is this rumour true or what?

I've got to replace the gasket in next week because of my head port & polish. But i dont know witch gasket i should use.

Thanks

 

for the d16a9, id use the one of the d16a1, the integra zc clone.

 

I can get the original gasket when ever i want or where ever i want. The A9 is used in any Dohc Civic and CRX's. But i just thought what could be better. The A9's gasget is paper, but the B16A2's is metal.
