I need to find out because we are planning on doing this mini-me swap this thursday on a 93 del sol.
The SOHC ZC and DOHC ZC do NOT have the same pistons... the pistons in the SOHC ZC is the same as the D16A6 (PM6). Therefore you should not have a clearance problem. The CR of the SOHC ZC is 9.3 marginally more than the D16A6...
