I bought a "D16Y8" head and I was told it was a Y8. I took it to the shp and the shop said it's not a Y8.

How can i find out what head it is from the serial number that's stamped on it. Is that even possible?

 

what is teh casting stamp?

 

Post up pics of it. Top and bottom side i fyou got em.

 

Will these do?
The red is because he told me my old Y8 has a groove where the red is.

Is that a 9 digit stamp?

 

sorry can't help ya bro, but I see a WAL-MART Bag! LMAO, woot-woot!!

Lemme go home tonight to look at my head on my Y8 and i'll post you in on it tomorrow.

 

it will tell you the year it was manufactured on the exhaust manifold side... so this will tell you if its a z6 or y8

 

Looks like a z6 to me. Sorry bro.

Kinda looks like a z6 to me too.

The first pic....but its WAAAY too blurry

 

looks like z6 to me too but cant be too sure.

BTW dont put the head on ur nice looking carpet

oil&gt;carpet

 

The first circle looks liek it says "1/8" and the other circle looks like "8"

 

Cant help you but "Auto Focus" owns you.

 

If i see that correctly then this pic says its P2J-3 which is y8. Can you get a better pic of this? Basically get a better pic, or tell us the code above the number 3 exhaust port.

 

Damn Im having brain farts today
My head is p2j-4 and has 96 on the right
Im saying its a y8

That says P2J-2

 

Its a y8
z6 is p08

I forgot I had this:

P2J is y8 and the -2 means what year it was made, i believe. So if thats correct its a 97 head. Can someone confirm that, i cant find it in my helms

 

I'm almost positive it's a y8... it's definately got VTEC, (there are ports for the VTEC solenoid)... and the combustion chambers are squared off...

The z6 has rounded combustion chambers and the y8's are squared.

Looks like you have yourself a y8 head

Good call

 

alright guys, I found out the truth.

It is a Y8 head. HOWEVER, apparently the 96-98 differs A LITTLE from 99-00 Y8 on the intake manifold part.

The 99-00 has a little ventelation champter than the 96-00 don't have.

I'll post picks up tonight when I get the camera from my sister.

The shops says that little groove will mess with teh back pressure.

So I'm gonna see what's the difference between the 96-98 and 99-00 Y8 intake manifold.

In thoery, I can just get 96-98 Y8 intake manifold and be good to go.

 

lol..its a Y8 i looked my mine when i got home last night! currently trying to build my spun out motor! but anyway it's a Y8. and Good luck with your project!

 

Sounds like some ******** at that shop don't know what they are looking at, I suggest another shop.

 

I have confirmed that 96-98 and 99-00 are different.

 

Are you talking about the air injection? Yeah - no big deal - plug it up like the rest of us and call it a day. If you didn't seal it up, you'd have idle problems for sure.
