i have a D15B block in my honda and i believe the head is a b16? possibly a D16? i really dont know but the shop i took it too said that it was.
so my question is, when a put the head gasket on do i go with the block? or head?
the place i went too put the 1.6 valvue seals in the head and used the head gasket from that kit and i blew my head gasket.. so thats obviously not right.
so another question, should a change all the seals they put on the block? or will they be fine as the 1.6 seal kit?

i dont know much.. so please help me

 

Post a pic of your motor

 

 

D16.

 

but with the D15 block.....
i should use a head gasket that matches the block?

 

I was thinking it was a JDM D15B . I think they're all the same. I'll have to do some searching. The stamp on the engine says D15B?

Blowing the headgasket may not be the gaskets fault. Is the head warped? Was there overheating int eh past?

 

yes the stamp is D15B
and i had a cracked valvue.... got the head re done and everything.... put it back together with the head gasket kit they used for the head and the next day... head gasket blew. i believe... under the valvue cover was water, anti-freeze and water...... im taking it apart and looking now
and it didnt overheat untill it blew white smoke and steam AFTER i got the head redone

 

I'm going to say to go with the OEM D16 head gasket unless someone that knows for sure says otherwise.

 

Whats the code on the front of the head above the header

 

right on grumble... the d16 gasket is what needs to be used

 

i see....... P08-2
and 9757?

 

https://honda-tech.com/forums/tech-misc-15/d-series-head-codes-786093/
92 Si D16Z6 5sp------- P08-2 (9/2) stamped on RS of code.
94 EX D16z6 5 spd---- PO8-2

 

its actually 91757? i think

 

D15B (JDM)
92 VTi D15B Auto--- -- P08-1 (9/1)<-- RS of Code
thats it...

 

so now with taking off the timing belt...
how do you mark it?

 

scratch that... its not the "D15B (JDM)
92 VTi D15B Auto--- -- P08-1 (9/1)<-- RS of Code"


its p08-2

 

and my car is an automatic... so hows that work?

 

How's what work?

 

nevermind... we got it all apart and found the problem....
whoever did the head work didnt get new head bolts........... f#ckers.

 

Make sure you still replace the head gasket

 

yepp. got all new gasketss....
since i have everything taken apart is there anything else worth changing? or fixing that could be broke?
or any cheap aftermarket parts that would make my car better?

 

I wouldn't buy aftermarket head bolts. They are a must every time a head is lifted. Some will say they can be reused once, but my experience has taught me that it's best to buy OEM Honda bolts any time you pull the head. If you haven't already changed the water pump, and timing belt I would. Also, make sure the timing belt tensioner is operating smoothly. It has bearings within it so make sure they don't sounds like they're metal-on-metal or there's resistance. Not a bad time to change the front main seal either.

Hope you figure it all out!

 

You should never put cheap parts in your motor, unless you fancy the idea of replacing them within a year. They're cheap for a reason.

While you're doing the head gasket, you'll want to to intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, valve cover and spark plug gaskets, timing belt, water pump, and timing belt tensioner. It also wouldn't hurt to have your injectors cleaned while you have everything apart.

 

so, ive called places all around my area and no one has head bolts.... whats the next best place to look online for them?
thanks for the help everyone

 

Ebay.
