I got my head back from the shop today. They checked it for pressure, see if it was wrapped or cracked. They replaced the chipped valve and the one next to it cause it had too much crude on it to sit right. He didn't say why it was chipped, but hinted it may have been due to exhaust leak. I am...

Thank you for the reply and the advice. I called a shop today and I am going to take the head down there tomorrow for them to test and see if they are holding pressure.

Hey, I have a D16Y8 head that has a chipped valve. I have looked around but haven't found an answer yet about replacement. I am wanting to know if I can just change this one valve and everything be cool. My wallet can't support buy all new valves if it is not required and I am more interested in...

If I un-mount the starter and jump it using the cables i can see it spin and the bendix popping out. when it is mounted it is making the eact same songs so i assume it isworking fine while mounted. Unfortunately I do not know anyone that would have a starter, or know what a starter even is...

yeah the stock numbers at AutoZone for the flywheel and the starter are the same for both motors. So there seems to be no reason why it would not work. This has me damn baffled. Not like a starter or the starting system is a complex process. It spins, pops out, turns flywheel and your golden...

Yeah it is the same manual transmission (flywheel etc.) and the same starter that I was using before. It worked perfectly fine before with the old engine. I am swapping the Y8 for a Y7 because the Y8 lost compression in 1 cylinder. The starter was working before I took it off and swapped the...

I measured yesterday and I have roughly a 1 3/4 inch from the back of the flywheel to where the starter mounts and the starter bendix (the gear that pops out, is called bendix?) is popping out just a tad more then an 13/4 inch. (maybe an eight inch more). I checked and the flywheels for Y7 and...

I use Pennzoil Synchromesh Fluid. That and occasionally some Lucas if something seems off.

also the flywheel is a stock flywheel and the starter and flywheel were both working on the D16Y8. I transferred the flywheel and all to the D16Y7 along with the transmission.

I took the started back to AutoZone and had themcheck it again. The starter passed with no problems. If I jump a wire from the small switch to the terminal the battery goes to and connect it to the battery and ground it, it will work. The starter spins and pops out. The problem is not the...

wow, that was quick reply. Thank you.

Hello, I got probably a stupid question but I am curious as to what exactly this part is (round disc with holes drilled in it) It is off of a D16Y7 from a 96 Civic DX. It is bolted to a bad D16Y8 in the picture though. I have tried searching but no flywheel or anything looks like it. Thank You.

Hello, I have a 96 Civic DX that I am having problems with. I had a D16Y8 (and wiring harness) and converted to manual tranny a few years ago (180k on that engine now). I had a new tranny (clutch and all) installed about a year ago, with about 60k since installed. I am in the process of swapping...
