D16z6 Block W/d15b2 Head Problems

Hello Again. I Am Have A Big Problem With My Vehicle. I Replaced The Block With A D16z6 But Retained My Origional Head After The Old Engine Through A Rod. Now The Engine Will Start And Run At High Rpm For About 5 Seconds. During This Time It Make A Terrible Tapping Sound. I Looked At The Valves And They Look Ok. Any Ideas? It In A 1988 Civic Dx Dpfi. Thank You So Much For Helping Me, I'm Getting Quite Frusterated. Tkuerzinge

that and try getting your valves lashed.

might as well just pick up a Z6 or Y8 head to complete the VTEC. Its like putting a LS head on a GSR block....just not worth it.
