Would a d16y8 head gasket kit fit on a d15b2?

Thank you.

It will fit. The bore size is the same as well as the bolt hole pattern. The D15 came with a composite gasket though. It will work fine.

Yeah itll work, the only difference between d15 and d16 is the rod lengths and deck heights.

So, it'll fit and work perfectly fine?

Yep! Done it before in a mini-me setup. QWK D16 has quite a bit of D series experience as well.

Great! Thanks guys. I've done many swaps but never a head gasket. Anyone have a guide telling me how to?

I found a MINT 1991 Civic Sedan for $300 with a blown head gasket, I have a FULL brand new d16y8 head gasket kit sitting in my closet collecting dust. So I needed to know if it'll fit.

I know a y8 head will fit on a b7 block without any problems. My question is will a D16Y8 HEAD GASKET fit on a d15b7, stock head, stock block.

i thought that the coolant passages on y8 and b7 are different...but i guess if ppl already done it before than it works

They do work, that is for sure.

Actually, that gasket may be preferred in some instances.:ninja:
