Long story short I bent some valve in my head when my timing belt snapped and im not having much luck finding another d17a2 head. Will any d series head be a direct replacement? or am I just going to have to have mine rebuilt?

 

hmm i dont think any other d series head would work because the d17 dont have a distributor..

 

Won't the A1 fit? It's the difference between vtec and not though. Check eBay, the D17s go fairly cheap if you can find them.

 

Yes that will.

However I was hoping there was a way to put on say a d16y8 head. Untill I looked closer at the head and noticed all the emission crap and the more advanced set up that the 01-05 civics have.
