first off let me start by saying that i already used the search and came up with so many different answers i'm going to try ask again. Dont flame.

Heres my question....i have a d15b7 and wanted to put on the z6 head. I wanna run the lowest possible compression i can so which head gasket do i use? Second question is....which timing belt do i use? I've heard VX because its still the 1.5 block but also heard z6 because the amount of teeth. Anyone know for sure? Last question.....which water pump would i use? b7 or z6? or r they the same? Any help is appreciate. Have a nice day

 

If you want to run the lowest compression possible, go ahead and get a good aftermarket head gasket that is designed to do this.

 

Z6 HG is the thickest D-series OEM metal headgasket out there. Use the water pump that's associated with the block (b7). Use the timing belt that's associated with the head (z6).

 

so the thicker the gasket the lower the compression? i did not know this. is there anything thicker than the z6 oem?

Z6 timing belt
water pump is for block (b7)
for lowest compression use b7 head gasket

Have a nice day

 

no i did search...maybe the waterpump was there but i bookmarked that link awhile ago. It doesnt say anything about the lowest compression...you only mention the Y8=higher and for the timing belt there seems to be a lot of opinions on this. other than that i appreciate ur help.

 

Check with aftermarket gasket companies like Mr. Gasket. The should be able to supply you with a gasket thicker than any stock gasket.
