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...

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.
