I have a D15B7 engine in a 92 civic. Changing the head.

Does the crank gear HAVE to be removed?? If so, whats the best way to lock the crank from turning???

Go to autozone (or similar) and rent a Honda/Acura crank pulley holding tool. Or buy one for $50 like I did.

Or a chain wrench. That works too

You are still going to have to move the crank pulley to the tdc marks when you put the new head on mate. Or at least I hope you do and not damage your new head.

OK...got some serious issues.

Remember....I bought this as a race ready car that was built and had been through several owners......

got the balancer off in pieces. Got the head off and saw no visible damage. top[ of #1 cyl. was clean compared to 2, 3, and 4. No water in the cly.


Block is....D15B7
head marked....P08-1 with cam gear marked 1.6
new head marked...P23-4



I am so messed up!!!! I know ZIP about a Honda...thses numbers mean nothing to me. I have read enough posts the there are a bunch in interchangeable parts AND adjustments MUST be made to prvent catastrophic issues.

I am so MINDF&%KED right now!!!

p08-1 is from a JDM D15B OR a US D16Z6, which is a vtec head. Someone did a mini me buy your info.

The numbers P23-4 looks to be a D16Y8 head, also vtec.

You should be able to bolt the new head on, but make sure you have the cam gear for a D16y8 or your timing will be off.

A y8 cam in all 96-00 EX models
