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.

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... =)

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.

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.
