Re: D16y7cam switch with a B16 Cam

a D series has 16 lobes (or 20 for VTEC) on one cam.
A B series has 12 lobes on each of 2 cams (8 primaries and 4 for VTEC).

So the simple answer is no, but for so many different reasons.

Re: D16y7cam switch with a B16 Cam

it would be cheaper just to swap in a b18c1 then trying to build up a d16. cams won't help you without the support mods like springs, valves and hondata.
