will this head work?

[91hbman]

I've got a 91 civic hb with the d15b2. I just burnt one of my exhust valves and after removing the head the rest of them dont look too great either. I found a d16a6 head on ebay and was wondering if it would bolt right to my d15b2 block with out any need of changes. Any help would be great.

[KoRnSaQ]

yes it will.

[91lxdreamer]

yeah Kornsaq is right, its gonna bolt right up, and you might even notice just a slight bit of gain, but not a whole lot, since you still got the d15 bottom end...but oh well

thanks alot, i think i'll go ahead and buy the head, 85$ is all he wnts for it and that includes shipping. I'd have more in my old just in new valves.

[91lxdreamer]

Yeah man, 85 doesnt sound like too bad of a deal, let me know how it works out

vould you use the same distributor though?
what if it were a vtec head?
Thanks everyone

[91hbman]

it should be the same distributor, the head is off a a similar year civic, from what i've found the only real difference in these two motors is the block being a little bigger. and no its not a vtec head. now here's a question, do you guys think i'll have a problem with the bottom end now that the top end is so thightly sealed. i've heard people having problems on a motor with higher miles. if they redo to head it creates such a stong vacume that the older pistons and rings dont do to well.

[d16a6crx]

yes it will use the same distributer... and btw the block itself is not bigger, they just use different strokes...and no you shouldn't have a problem with pistons/rings that you would have had with your old head.

so here's the next question, what all do i need to put a d16z6 motor in the hb. will my manual tranny bolt to the d16. do i have to buy new motor mounts, how hard is it to change the wiring. or is there a web site that explaines everything. my friend just put a 94 b16 del so motor in his 94 civic. he will give me the motor. it smoked a little. but not too bad
