as long as the diameter is the same it should fit. Just keep in mind how the compression ratio will be affected.

To the original poster, Nice name btw.

 

ohh jesus I missed the " d16y8 non-vtec sohc" portion... sowwie

 

Even the D16Y7 has different pistons than the D16Y8? Thought it was just the heads different..

 

i think the heads are different and the pistons are the same but im more a a bolt on guy (throwing engines in a car counts as bolt on in my book)

you could look up the bore an stroke of the engine online i found it once but can't tell you were i found it cause it was a long time ago

 

thank you i wasnt a 100% sure on that

 

when i read the d16y8 not being vtec i was like

then i saw he's a trial member.
