Default y7 head

i have a 95 dx, the motor is all stock. my friend with a 97 lx just got a y8 head. i can get his y7 head for free. is it worth the time to put it on my dx motor?

well i have been doing some math. i used a online compression calculator, the y7 head and a y8 head gasket will bump the compression from (stock 9.1) to 11.7. so it looks like i will have to us premium gas. the valves are also all 1mm bigger. i think i might get some decent hp for free.

Save up for a y8 head, its not very expensive, and it'll do alot better.
