^^
that is correct and crystal clear when you have an obvious different head on a different short block but in the case of the d16a6 and d15b2 the heads are equal minus the camshaft and valve spring and the timing belts are different. this causes confusion when you add the d16a6 camshaft to the d15b2 head and then change the cam gear to that of the d16y7/d16y8 to counteract the half tooth off/different short block heights problems. many say a6 timing belt others say b2 belt...the links I posted above have crystal clear solutions to this quite complex scenario for those who are not in the know. they provide support to their answers rather than just state what to use like many others. I've spent all day all night reading/googling/etc etc hopefully someone would make a sticky to end all confusion to this.
