d16y7 block on d16z6 head
 

I put on my HMT kit last year and my stock block is not cutting it, I have a D16Z6 in a eg hatch, I found a good deal on a built D16Y7 block ,I was woundering if I could swap the Z6 head over to the Y7 block will I still able to use my hydro tranny? also is the swap pretty much strait forward, what head gasket, clutch,waterpump,oilpump etc would I want to use. any info would be usefull, thank you!

use one z6 head stud and 9 y7 studs

Re: d16y7 block on d16z6 head
 

the block already has arp head studs in them, can't I just use all of the y7 studs, where is the one z6 stud go?

Re: d16y7 block on d16z6 head
 

as you look in your engine bay it is the top left bolt hole.
z6 head has a step there

never tried arp studs
hopefully they work, otherwise be ready for some thread pulling

I was wrong, the block is out of a 91 civic so is that a a6? I want to put a z6 head on it, will that still work, can I use the z6 water pump and timming belt also?

Re: d16y7 block on d16z6 head
 

yes it should be a6 if it was a Si model. You can use the z6 water pump. And whatever head you used on a block. You always use the timing belt from the head. So in your case, yes z6 timing belt.
