I've also heard that the Z6 head is better flow wise, but which ever you use you should use the Y8 head gasket because it has a higher C/R. But then again I'm a noob, so wait till other people reply... ;D

z6 and y8 have the same thickness head gasket, the y8 cost alot less and so its more commonly used.

both heads have their own disadvantages and advantages. i would suggest going w/ the z6 for ease in almost all cases except starting w/ the y7, then swap to the y8 head for ease.

who cares, its a single cam, you're not gonna make any power anyways, and it'll be blown up in 6 months too.

seriously tho, just use whatever you can get your hands on the easiest.
