Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 2005D15B7 HEAD ON D15B2 BLOCK
Does anyone know if D15B7 head w/cam will work on a D15B2 block. Are there any special timing problems. > Does anyone know if D15B7 head w/cam will work on a D15B2 block. Are there > any special timing problems. do you mind saying why? iirc, you're going from a single cam 16v head to another single cam 16v head, right? what's the objective? To get the car running again. The existing D15B7 burned a hole in a piston and also spun a bearing. I have a good D15B2 block. The head on the D15B7 has been ported and polished. >> Does anyone know if D15B7 head w/cam will work on a D15B2 block.

"Burned a hole in a piston": Severe detonation "Spun a bearning": oil starvation Conclusion: Abused engine; owner is meathead. Or a racer.
