that should help you out..

 

sweet thanks dude. so if i read it right i need the timeing belt and head gasket off the y8?

 

oh and what head bolts do i use

 

You'll likely want to get some ARP bolts, and may have to contact the company to mix/match if you need different types. I know with Z6/Y8 combo you need 9 from one block/head, the other from the other type. I'll see if I can find specifics.

Also, sup thrown rod buddy? http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=35iyf68&s=5

 

I'm running the exact same set up now. the D15 block and Y8 Head.

You need to use i think it is 9 head bolts from a d15b7 head and only 1 of your d16y8 head bolts the one where the y8 head bolt goes is right by the V tec Solynoid.

Also, Run the y8 head gasket and y8 timing belt. Good Luck and i hope you have it finished in 8 days. work ur *** off. any questions PM me. I just Did mine.

 

D series....sigh

 

now i also heard about having to pull a pin out of the head or block or somethin to run this setup?

 

I am also running exact the same thing.

$29 auto insurance for any honda civic and must be between ages 16-29.
