hmm weird? car is running great, no overheating or anything, strong heat, little smoke here and there, pulls strong as hell. definitely a different feel powerband wise... but one thing bugs me.........

my freaking temp guage is like freaking out. when it idles it goes to normal. when i start driving it starts going up till it gets to hot. weird. does anyone know of a direct fit replacement that is not a oem honda. but rather an true aftermarket guage? lmk nogs, and thanks for the help.

no real gains. The head on your motor does the job. Vtec head just allows for use of large cams with stock idle

Well you can use the a6 dist on the y7 head. All the bolts may not line up I did that swap I have no idea maybe 5 years ago and stayed obdo but cant remember if everything lined up




Its not big deal when stayin obdo with a sohc vtec head the a6 dist only has one bolt line up. Notch the hole you have full inition timing nothing crazy or new.

ok thats understandable. now would i have to use a y7 head gasket or would i have to use a d15 head gasket? i think i would have to use a y7 one correct.
