feel free to explain why?

Re:d16z6 vs d16y8
 

agreed I would like to know

Re:d16z6 vs d16y8
 

Its been attempted by a guy on SOHCHONDA.com

He had bad experiences with a few Y8 blocks and got tired of it.

Tried to find a solution in using a z6 pump and was unsuccessful.

His member name on the forum is Brooksto if anyone is interested.

If I have the time Ill speak to him and report back here.

Re:d16z6 vs d16y8
 

Well remember, the D16z6/a6 pump will bolt on a Y7/y8 block you just cant run OBD2 with it anymore, thats probably what he ran into. The front crank sensor sits on the front of the oil pump rather than inside of the distributor like on obd0/1.

Correct me if I'm wrong chris... =)

Re:d16z6 vs d16y8
 

The guy on Sohchonda says that the "z6" oil pump fits the block perfectly. All bolts holes etc.

But something about the oil pan interferes.

Re:d16z6 vs d16y8
 

agreed, i know plenty of people that have replace the pans and pumps with obd1 parts and have had no problems with bearings, but just about every y8 that was using stock pump, had signs of wear (if not totally spun) on the bearing during tear downs, even one that was a fresh rebuild ::cough::hotrex::cough:: with 1k miles had ---- bearings with an obd2 pump. like jeff said though, you can't do it if you're putting it in an obd2 chassis b/c the ckp sensor is on the obd2 pump verses the dizzy for obd1. i believe the z6 head flows a little better than the y8 heads from what i hear, i don't have TOO much personal experience with d's to know for sure.

I was told y8 pans wouldnt fit on -95 D's and vice versa.

I will do a test fit tomorrow.

Re:d16z6 vs d16y8
 

Do you understand that you have to change the pump in order to use the certain year pan? Thats what were talking about here.

If you use a D16y8 pump, you have to use a d16y8 pan. So if you swap a Y8 pan on Z6, its not going to fit! But if you swap a Z6 pump on a y8 block, with a z6 pan youll be fine. ::)

Re:d16z6 vs d16y8
 

some guy has done it before, he used a z6 pump on a Y8 block, only one of the pan bolt does not line up.
