OK i have a d16y8 and iam installing a head on it but when i go to tighten the bolts in they get tight even before they hit the head i mean iam lost i dont know whats up i even got these bolts from a sohc motor..

Are vtec sohc and non vtec sohc head bolts different or somthing please some one shed some light on this for me.. thanks

 

LOL it's gotta be somthing obvious

 

please tell me u started them by hand

 

take them back out and make sure that **** goes in straight. start it out by hand also. i hope you didn't tighten them either.

 

did you get the bolts from a D15B sohc or are they from a Y8 engine

He said they wont tighten so how could he tighten them?? think..... bolts only can go in straight unless u cross thread them and this doesnt happen with threading them on by hand it happens with either using air or by using a socket and getting it in straight....... if u tightned them by hand then you proble have the wrong bolts. take them out and look for metal on the bolt or in the whole if u stripped the block your sol my friend...... come talk to me i have some d16y8 headbolts 4 sale ill set u straight
