d16a6/d16y8 "mini-me"
Hey guys; I'm getting a fair amount of money from my income tax and I wanted to just use my D16y8 head (rebuilt).
For the D16y8 I have already done:
Valve lapping
ALL new seals and,
Cleaned it spic-and-span (nothing crazy).
PLANS FOR THE HEAD:
Crower "Stage 1" camshaft
All stock valvetrain
D15b7 Distributor
The block I bought is a D16a6. My question is should I fully rebuild the D16a6 bottom end with OEM parts (pistons, rod bearings, rings, z6 oil pump). I'm not going performance because I am buying a B16a2 in the future and there would be no need to. I need some suggestions on how-to build this block if I'm going to. A LOT of pictures will be added if I decide to. Also, I am thinking of buying my rebuild kit on eBay.ca, has anyone bought this kit and if so how did it work?. If you bought this kit please let me know. I would also like to know that my engine is clean.
