I'm planning to do this swap on my 92 civic si. Does anyone know any precuations to take before the transplant? Furthermore, can I use my existing timing belt, distributor, waterpump, head gasket, intake/exhaust manifold gasket, etc? Reason being, I just bought all these parts for the d16z6 head not knowing that I now want to go with the D16Y8 head. Does anyone else have this setup done? Anyone experience any problems? Any help is appreciated. THanks.

the difference between the two heads is the combustion chamber and vtec oil press/soleniod housing

the combustion chamber is a box chamber similar to a p72.
this gives .2 over the z6.
z6=9.5
y8=9.7
