As Far as I know, All SOHC D-Block Heads will bolt onto all D-Blocks.

The D16a6 head will bolt onto your D15b8 block. It should be a Straight Swap. Just unbolt the old Head, Bolt the new one down, And you will be ready to go.

If you want even more Power, A Vtec Head will also bolt on with slight adoptions, then you would also Gain Vtec.

You will have better Performance With a 16 Valve Head over an 8 Valve Head.

just check to see that the valves on the a6 head will clear the cx pistons. I'm not sure if the cx pistons have notches for the 8v or the 16v heads.
