we already knew you meant a d16 DOHC ZC and we already said NO. NO B series parts are interchangeable with a D series and vise versa. if you want Vtec on your ZC get a z6 head and slap it on.

I am pretty sure the z6 head won't bolt up either. The dohc has a unique bolt pattern from what i remember

i did a quick Google search and found someone that's done it . from what i've always ready you can put a DOHC on any D16 so they are interchangeable and same head bolt pattern. there are SOHC ZC's as well as DOHC ZC's

From what I gathered the ZC6 was a slang or "myth" term for a B16A1 back in the day.
