Y8 head on a z6 block a lil help needed
« on: August 17, 2009, 02:19:39 PM »
Alright so I've been reading up on this and have a question. I know questions about this setup have been asked a million times so bear with me please.
Can I put the y8 head on the z6 block with the z6 cam and cam gear on it?
Also then what timing belt do I use?
All the shit I've been reading on the net has me all sorts of confused and can't find this specific question anywhere.

That's my thought process as well. There's more too it than that though.

Really? where????

Only ting will be bump in compression from the smaller chambers and maybe the need to open the slots on the dizzy to get 16 BTDC ignition timing.

You'd need a "non" VTEC style dizzy though, which I consider a big plus.

The dizzy is one thing that's more to it. And I hadn't been able to find the answer about using the z6 cam and cam gear. Everyone was swapping cams and gears with each other which changes timing like 4.5* but I couldn't find the answer to if I use a z6 cam and gear. It should work fine though I guess.

Your staying with a same height block, same height head, therefore if the cam gear matches the cam. nothing changes.

This is simple stuff.

And the head is the same height correct. These where things I was assuming but had been unable to verify. I appreciate the help.

Thank you. I was searching for Z6 the whole time DOH! That's why I couldn't find it. I had assumed it would be that way but was looking for verification. Thanks again.
