i have a d16z6 motor that i put a y8 head on. and kept the old distributor. the egine rotates but will not turn over all the way.

 

Do you have spark and/or fuel getting to the motor? Is the timing of the motor on? I think the Z6 distributor doesn't quite match up to the Y8 head.

 

yes i do, the engine wont turn by hand so im guessing it is the timing or possibly the wrong color rod bearings

 

Did you make sure all of your grounds were reconnected?

 

If the engine will rotate only partly by hand than it sounds like the timing belt is off and your valves are hitting the pistons. If you need help on setting the timing properly, IM me. Goodluck

 

uhhhhh d16z6 distributor and d16y8 heads are not compatible

 

you need a d15b7 dissy for that application. :-) I got one. I used it on a d16y8 to make it odb1.

PM if you want it.

 

Although that's true about the distributors not being compatible, she has more problems than just that. She said that the motor will not turn over all the way BY HAND.

Yeah, if it's not turning over by hand then you have an internal problem: valves hitting pistons, something binding, etc. Don't try forcing it to turn or try cranking it anymore. Take off the timing belt and make sure you have everything aligned properly. Hopefully you haven't damaged anything yet...
