Okay i just spent a total of 10 hours doing my mini-me fuking swap!!! 1 hr for NAPA giving me the wrong gasket, 3 hours trying to find the right socket size for all the bolts... then 1 hr for the distributor.. it was a bitch but its running fine

my timing is right, it starts up but when i rev the engine my head has a whistling noise, when i poped my hood and reved from the throttle cable i noticed it was the timing belt (we spilt some oil on the belt) could that be the whistling noise? also the head when i rev sounds a bit different the my d16a6 head (now D16z6 head) and there is NO VTEC right now, could that be why its a different noise? or could it possibly be it still has to get worked in the oil and coolant and new headgasket and stuff? please HELP!!!!

 

installing a new head gasket will not make any kind of noise. Usually a whistling noise is because of a vacuum leak. check all your lines

 

i just fired up a similar swap with a y7/8. I had a strange whistle the first time i touched the pedal. Could it be the IAC?

 

spooned-ek: yea you probably need to plug the vacuum line up on the back of the intake manifold, use some tube and then just screw a screw in the end of the tube, thats what i did till i put my boost guage in
