Buddy of mine has a 2000 civic ex (di6y8), and he wanst to know specifics about putting a b16 head on the block?

will it bolt up? will certain oil passages have to be redrilled? is the bore the same, or is it the stroke that makes the 1.6 a 1.6 in a b16? i dunno? He wants some power, and poor guy doesnt know jack about motors......So?

ummm...u cant put a DOHC head on a SOHC block...

 

then i will have to bust his *** for telling me that krap....sorry dunno much about motor swaps.....

 

UUUMMM how do you have 65 posts and not know that??? Dont want to rip you but c'mon guy. At least do a search first and avoid the embarassment.
Its okay though, weve all been there ha ha

 

you can put a ls head on it. The older D series blocks can be modified to fit a DOHC ls head. No VTEC head will fit.. but the LS will with some modification. Its not worth the trouble though.. simular to a ZC

 

so I guess the bore centers being 2-3 mm different does matter then?

 

he said it'll fit.. didn't say it'll work =x for some reason someone in AMERICA must blab on how they swapped a b16 head on a D16 engine.. I've even seen someone say I put a h22 on a B18C I'm like man oh man is he on crack..

 

gone through this topic many times already! And all people do is flame.... do a search!!! If I had pics.. I'd post them...but I dont. But its a DOHC head on a d-series block... not sure which block number though.

 

yeah well i guess i did open myslef up for that one....search? got it!

i have never owned a honda, so I never tried to delve too much into it.

Thay are called ZC motors, came stock DOHC over in JDM land.

No the heads will NOT fit a US SOHC block.

 

WHAT? You're smoking crack. You cannot fit a LS head (90+) on a D16 block

That is unless you got some deep *** pockets and like to pay out the *** for custom machine work. Even then, I still don't think any machine shop would touch it.

If we go by your statement, then the VTEC head would fit, because we all know that LS/VTEC's are done all the time. And if a LS head would fit, then the VTEC head would fit too.

Whoever told you it would work, doesn't know their Honda motors very well.

 

i never heard of any body putting a b18c head on a d16 block before in my life, but i have put a 1987 integra head on my 1991 civic si block. it's pretty cool!

 

dont' ever listen to your friend ever again!
and tell him not to say stupid **** like that again....

his next advice might get you flamed more!
