- Wed Aug 20, 2008 2:06 am #66766 what motor are you putting this on? Is it obd1 or obd2? If you can make a complete working head with the parts from both then you will need less.

From what I can see you will need the IM with injectors, fuel rail and TB. All the lil sensors and crap that come on the IM. VTEC solenoid, valve cover, and header.

While its out and bare, go ahead and port and polish that bad boy.

- Wed Aug 20, 2008 3:50 pm #66805 Unless you're rebuilding the head, I would just sell them and get a complete Z6 head. You'll spend more money piecing it together than you'd pay for a complete head. For instance, people charge $50 just for the VTEC solenoid. Then they want $50-100 for the valve cover. The Y8 intake manifolds go for $100+. Yet you can get a complete D16Z6 head for a little over $100.

Second option would be to use a Z6 manifold on that Y8 head. If you use the overpriced Y8 intake manifold, your throttle cable wont fit, you'll have to relocate your IAT, and on and on. You should always stick with your OBD generation. In this case your car is OBD1 and that head is OBD2.

In either case you'll need brand new head studs. ARP aftermarket studs are better and cheaper than stock. If you want to put that Y8 head on a OBD1 block, you'll need the Y8 kit and one custom length stud. If you get a Z6 head you can just get the Z6 kit.

everyone has a hard on for the miniscule compression bump of the y8 but in the end the z6 head is simpler/easier.

Best bet is to hot tank them and make tem look good and sell them and get a complete head like it´s been said b4
