it would be like any other mini-me. Search and you'll find some threads on the mini-me conversion

the links prob wont help because he has the SOHC ZC and not a d16a6........ I dont know but Mike, as you said, you might have clearence with the pistons and the valves..... if you upgrade the pistons, you will eliminate this problem, right?
