ive read a lot about this but unsure what timing belt to use or headstuds im always reading 2 different stories.im planning to go boost i have all my parts and a z6 block sitting.i rather use that due to y7 oil pump.and im doing y7 head since i want to keep my port and regrind cam.i just need to know what studs timing belt pully all that good stuff.p.s this is going to be vitara block with y7 head.
thanks honda tech

 

also i will be buying arp headstuds but unsure which model to buy y7/8 or z6

 

???

 

you get the headstuds for whatever cylinder head you are working with. in your case a y7. but i must ask why are you using a y7 cylinder head over a y8?

 

he said he has a ported y7 head and regrind cam thats why hes reusing the y7 head.

 

For the headstuds, use d16y7 pieces. The threads in the block are most likely identical, I know with a d16y8 and a d16z6 the bolt closest to the distributor is a different length but the threads in the block are the same, it's a difference in the head.

thanks man u helped a lot! just finished my vitara block now needa order up some headstuds ana start breaking it innn.so z6 and y7 timing belts the same?

 

nvm!just searched read that it has the same tooth count.
non vtec ftw

 

question, I got a 91 si with the z6 block and a y7 head i salvaged cause I snapped the cam in my a6 head, well the distributor for the y7 which I believe is obd1, won't secure except with one bolt, is your problem the same? If so how does it affect driveability?
I haven't timed it yet or even torqued it down because it's not TDC yet. Just wanna know if I can drive it with only one bolt in. And will it stay timed? Don't want the distributor blowing up or popping out
