ZC DOHC head on a D16a6 SOHC block.

[remoer]

ok i just bought a full complete ZC Black Top dohc head for $20(sorry for the ghey paint colour i bought it like this) and i've been doing some research of what it takes to slapping the zc head on the a6 block. i've seen ppl do it for a turbo setup and other ppl do it too. but i've never seen it done or an all-motor build. here's a link:

i want to thanks to JDMEF7(of d-series), jlicrx(d-series, zcr.com, and h-t) and Don(SOHCinWA of d-series) for give some tech advice. so here's what you would see and need to know before you think of doing this type on build.

first my JDM ZC DOHC head top and bottom valve look.

ok now you've see the line up of the bolts now here's the line up of the hg. as you can see the D16y7/8 doesn't line up w/the head, it leans more to the intake side like .125mm towards the intake. but it sit pretty on the block.
