d16a6 head on a d15b7
Hey guys,
My valves were junk on my d15b7 head, so i put a d16a6 head on it, so with the d16a6 head installed on the b7 block, i'm running into timing issues. i line the marks up perfect and then crank it and it doesn't start so i check the timing and its off every time. am i forgetting something? i read online that all i had to do was swap them and it was done. Any info is very much appreciated.

i just read that i need the y8 cam gear, ok i'll order one. but will that make up for the timing belt slipping? or what am i missing here. i'm completely lost,and i need my car back as soon as possible.

as far as i know you just need the belt that matched the head, so get a 91 crx si timing belt.
another question are you sure its a d16a6? whats the code stamp by the exhaust ports? (look on front of head by exhaust and post all the numbers and letters)

I don't think you need a Y8 cam gear. If that was what you needed, the engine would still run with the cam gear you already have... it's only a 1/2 tooth difference between that cam gear and the one you already have.
The problem is that you must have the wrong belt. Also, make sure you properly tension it.

its the b7 belt, and i just read online that i need that gearto pick up the slack, it just jumps when you crank, its tightened down enough, new belt less then 100 miles ago yada yada yada lol. i ordered the gear its gonna be here in the morning, we'll see what happens i guess.

its the d16a6 head. i know it is for sure. i just cant think of the numbers off the top of my head. i'd look but its not at my house its in my buddies barn lol. i'm hoping the cam gear will tighten it up. its not far off. just enough to jump the timing a tooth or two

its the belt, goto part store if you wanna verify, ask if the crx si belt is different from the belt you have
