I am swapping to a D16z6 in my EF and there is an engine I found for sale for a good price for what it is. But it doesn't have a crank pulley and no cam gear. Is one or both interchangeable?

 

no

 

^Are you sure? I could've sworn all 88-95 camgears are one and the same and the crank pulleys, although slightly different in design, still have the same timing marks and are interchangeable between DX/LX/EX/Si...

 

Ef has that little piece to keep pulley on the crank forgot what its called the rest don't I wouldn't do it but hey its not my car go to the junk yard n grab one

 

Key?

 

YeaH

^interesting. I'm going to compare my spare pulleys when I get home.

 

88-91 D15B1 and D15B2 have a 22mm diameter front crankshaft snout and use a 3 rib alternator belt

88 D16A6 has a 22mm diameter front crankshaft snout and uses a 3 rib alternator belt

89-91 D16A6 has a 24mm diameter front crankshaft snout and uses a 3 rib alternator belt

92-95 D16Z6 has a 24mm diameter front crankshaft snout and uses a 4 rib alternator belt

D15B2 crank pulley will not fit D16Z6 crankshaft

 

i have a d15b2 or b1(forgot which one) on my z6 you have to use a smaller woodruff key. im pretty sure i used the b2 one and not the z6 key. have pic if you dont believe.

 

I am curious of this. I heard it was bad because of some harmonic dampener in the pulley on the z6/y8, but nobody really knew for certain.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I have a B2 pulley, and it is so nice and light compared to the y8 pulley... not a big gain, but a free gain none-the-less.
Is it really that bad if it can be done?

nitewolf, post up some pics!!!
