I am going to look at one tomorrow that i might buy for a mini-me swap. The guy says it is not together but has everthing but vtec solenoid and cam gear. Anything i should look for when i check out the head? How much do the solenoids run. Any input helps. The head is off a 92 ex

 

i'm looking for similar info.....bump

 

if you have a 88-91 civic crx get the y8 head the 88-91 distrib bolts right up.buy a low mile head complete!

 

makesureall the pins in the rocker arms are there...make sure that the cam journals are not killed...look for severe mating surface marrs, or obvious machining marks (ie- un-deburred coolant passage entries, half circle shapes on the mating surface (you dont want a head that was milled so much its junk)
i say get a head that is togetehr if you dont know what to look for....no offense, but its a lot easier to get a complete piece that requires no guessing

 

good idea
