My son went too long on his last timing belt change and thus bent some valves.

I have a chance to pick up a working D15 head cheap so I'm thinking about just swapping a D15 head on his D16 engine. Simple swap? I'd be curious to know your thoughts.

If the original engine is a d16a6 or sohc zc ( non vtec OBD0 ) and the new head came from an OBD0 or OBD1 ( d15b7, dx, lx, cx-b8 ) engine, d15b2 then just use the old Intake manifold and distributor and you should be fine I think.

what does it say on the block? Do you know if it's OBD0 or has it been coverted to OBD1?

 

Just buy another D16 head....They arent expensive at all.

 

Well if it's on a VTEC block you have to add the oil control jet back to the block.
