Hi so let me just list all the parts i have, and i was wondering if i am missing anything.
i own a 1998 civic dx. i have

1.d16z6 head (with a d16y8 cam and cam gear)
2.D16y8 intake manifold with y8 injectors and iacv, but d16y7 tb
3. d16y7 dizzy ( i understand that it needs modification to bolt on)
4. p28 chipped ECU with y8 basemap
5. jumper harness

So i was wondering if i will still have the issue with timing if i have the d16y8 cam and cam gear inside the d16z6?
Also, will the d16y7 dizzy function properly for the time being?
Does the cam in the head sit lower than a stock d16y8, thus needing a different timing belt? or would a d16y8 timing belt fit properly?
Thank you for your time guys. let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

 

no distributor modification needed. its the same as a y8. 104 tooth belt. why a y8 cam over z6?

 

I purchased the z6, but the cam lobes was too small to lift the rocker arms enough to open the valves (so apparently i got screwed over), so i just used a y8 cam i had laying around. does anyone know what cam the z6 came with? it has e331 stamped on it.

 

i made a mistake there. you'll need a z6 distributor and your y7 guts in it, for some reason i thought i read y8 head.

youll need an adjustable cam gear to time that properly in the z6 head. your easiest solution is to get a z6 cam.

 

i thought that the issue with timing is because the z6 cam is keyed differently at the cam gear, so the timing would be off. but why would the timing be off if i used a y8 cam and cam gear on a y7 block, wouldnt the timing be very similar to just a d16y7 to y8 mini me? Im just curious on if im overlooking something. is the dizzy slot also different between the two?

 

[QUOTE= is the dizzy slot also different between the two?[/QUOTE]
there is your problem

 

how off is the slotting? is it small enough to be adjustable with the dizzy so the timing is perfect? im trying to learn

 

no, it isnt. your options are z6 cam or adjustable cam gear.

 

Okay awesome, thank you for your time!
