We have a 97 EX that needs the bottom end rebuilt...So until this is finished we want to put the y8 head on a d15b8 block and tranny...Does any one have any info on this or is it a simple head on block swap..I've heard that there is a oil line needing to be drilled into the block...any info would help...Thanks

 

nope just ta ke the oil contrlol jet out. and thats it. Thats prolly what you thought the drilling was.

 

Ok is there a place on the d15 block to plug it into?

 

you are think of the b series motors. for sohc all you have to do is take out the oil jet and bolt the head to the block.

 

Someone said you had to block off an oil passage, is that what you're talking about?

just take out the oil jet and bolt it up man and you are good to go.

 

sweet thanks guys this really helped alot!

 

please correct me if i'm wrong, but the b8 is and 8valve, right? if you're running a 16valve head, there should be reliefs on the pistons for the extra valves... or is piston-valve clearance negligable?

 

i have heard the all d15 pistons are the same, only the head are different.

 

where is the oil jet that needs to removed? anyone have any pics?

 

its between cylinder 2 and 3 u will see it.

i'd much rather have a pic. and how do i get it out? i have never had a piston engine apart before. what if i don't take the oil jet out?

 

what about the timing belt..y8 belt..z6 belt..

AFAIK, the valve reliefs are all wrong.

come on i need to know..

 

ok the D15B6 is the 8 valve block (i know because i have one) but if their is another 8 valve block out there then you have to use D15B1,2,7 pistons. if the pistons on your block look like this then you need to use new pistons:
