trying to find out what head i got
 

like it says i got a sohc vtec in my back shed been so long i dont know which it is y8ect.
is there a way to tell without having the original block thanks in advance
ps i have search the thread and could find anything so im not just being lazy

Re: trying to find out what head i got
 

and another thing if i build up that vtec head(which ever one it is) like cam valves springs injectors ect. i mean the hole 9 yards and put it on a stock si or hf motor am i just asking for trouble or will it be fine, daily drive fine not down the drag stip a few times fine.

Re: trying to find out what head i got
 

knownign the year of the head will give you the answr to which it is. or if you have the upper t-belt cover the engine info should be on there

Re: trying to find out what head i got
 

i dont know the year and no cover all i got when i pick it up year are two ago was the head minus valve cover, pretty much valves springs ect and head no dizzy either

Re: trying to find out what head i got
 

there should be 2 or 3 circles that have numbers in them. those tell you the month and year the head was built. which should give you a pretty clear indication of wht head it is. or you can test fit a dizzy on there, a z6 one wont line up right on a y8 head and vise versa

Re: trying to find out what head i got
 

Unless you get pics of the cam/springs in the head there proably stock


guys feedback is hardly trustworthy

Re: trying to find out what head i got
 

he told me the cam was stamped and gave me the spring number told me to call skunk2 and talk to them about them


"crower is stamed on the cam.

skunk2 (pn:311-05-0340,bar code:311-05-0340 call them and check it out) thanx." i wanna do a major build on this head for a mini me swap intake mani injector everything that can be take off will be replaced with a high performance part but this would save me alot of money if thows parts are really in there.

Re: trying to find out what head i got
 

mini me cant take the larger cam if its on a non vtec d15b block has the valve reliefs arent deep enough.

Re: trying to find out what head i got
 

is there a set of pistons i can put in the block when i do the swap that will have enough relief for that cam. 92 hatch

Re: trying to find out what head i got
 

machine shop will need to enlargen the valve reliefs and then you will need to clay the motor for clearance issues
