ok im doing a mini me and i have all the parts i need. tell me if im missing ne thing or give me some advice..

setup: d16y7 block-d16z6 head/manifold

parts i have:

v-tec solinoid
copper head gasket
intake manifold gasket
z6 throttle cabble
96 ex ecu
oil/filter
coolant

do i need new headbolts?
is this set up even worth it?

 

you do need new headbolts unless you are already running ARP bolts. OEM bolts are one time use only

to many people it's worth it. to me, considering all that work you have to do, i would save my money and put all that work and money into a swap.

yes i am "seriously." hahaha, but yes, if you re-use oem head bolts, they tend not to thread in as good and in some cases stretch a little
