I'm putting one together for my daily driver and I want to be sure I have all the correct parts.
Parts List:
D15B7 bottom-end
D16Z6 head
Z6 headgasket
VX timing belt(?)
adj. cam gear

I'm not too sure what timing belt to use, as I've read many different suggestions. I figure the VX belt is the one to use since this is essentially a 1.5L vtec. Let me know if this is correct or is there another option. Also any guessestimates on c/r? TIA.

i think you need the d16z6 timing belt. cant remember tho. my friend did this and read about 260 psi from a compression check across the board.

 

whaever water pump you use is what timing belt you use.

 

Hey i am doing a y8 head swap onto my sohc zc and i am having the same problem, ive tried 4 different timing belts and they are either way too big or extremely tight. If anyone knows what belt i need please help. I used a 96+ belt, 92-95 belt (all too tight), d16a6 belt, and a 1990 civic base model 1.5l belt those 2 were too loose.

 

So I'll be using a d15 timing belt. Thanks again.
