the y8 just says honda on the valve cover, your best bet is to get a z6, thye y8's are known for spun rod bearings, but there have been a few y8's that have put down some good #'s when boosted.

but there are some things that can be done to the y8 oil pump to help it flow better and lubricate the internals alot more....
