sohc to dohc

[optimuscivic]

i have a D16A6 and was wondering if you can put a dohc from a ZC onto it. i just got my motor running again. had the head machined. new timing belt. what do you suggest for the sohc d16a6.

umm...the DOHC ZC head does not bolt onto a d16a6 block. The SOHC ZC head would but not DOHC

i sure didn't. that was RUDE. optimuscivic reg. this month with less than 17 posts. obviously if he knew it couldn't be done or he wouldn't have asked. your reply was to say the least

if that were you the first month you were here you would have said "you guys suck...thanks for not helping..." and thrown a fit.

Excellent point Ami.

Help out a newbie yo. :apoke:

Everyone has to start somewhere..my first few posts were about installing a tach...The hell if I knew the blue wire was the right one 'til someone told me

Pay no attention to the man in the blue car Optimus Civic. He is a cool dude, but dropped the ball on this one.

For about $500 you can throw a whole DOHC ZC motor in your car, if you have that much to spend...that shit will bolt right up yo, but not a DOHC head onto a SOHC block..

Sorry guys ... I acutally thought he was joking when he asked seeing as a single overhead cam engine is different than a dual overhead cam engine. But alas, everyone does start somewhere
