i can't find a topic or an answer to this question so don't hate. i haven't had the time to start on the dx to Si head swap but i've read somewhere that i will need to skip a tooth or so to get the right timing, is this true?? if so, then how come the magazines don't mention anything about timing issues that need to be corrected when doing this swap?? so whats the real deal?? Si timing belt or dx timing belt or are they the same?? skip a tooth or just follow the manual on proper timing belt replacement??

 

and oh yeah I am missing these miscellaneous parts: TPS, one retainer that goes underneath the fuel rail, three nuts that hold the fuel rail to the manifold, plastic injector harness cover and the nuts that hold it in place...

can i get these parts at a honda dealer ???

the actual heads are identical so there shouldnt be a differnce as long as u retain the stock timing belt for the 15 and teh aprts are all availible at ur local hondadealer or junkyard if ur not lazy

 

does this mean that i don't have to worry about the timing belt being a tooth off ???

 

Yes, dont worry about it, it will bolt right up, and the timing should be fine, just roll the motor over a few times to make sure everything is perfect.
