i have a d16a1 (zc) dohc. theres sohc internals and im wanting to know if im able to put a sohc head on the zc. if so what do i all need?......... . ........
NEW QUESTION, i just bought the motor saying d16a1 whitch is the dohc as well but the cams say pm6 as mine (zc) says pm7. can i use my cams in the d16a1 head????

 

^

Heh... ive seen that car before... Did you get it from a girl named Cindy? in polk city??

Anyways i think you can stick a Single cam head on it as it is a single cam sort of....

well you would need a Single cam head. head gasket and what not...

 

Im pretty sure you can not do that and you will have hella problems tryin to make it work just get a single salam motor and be done if you need help lmk.

i do need a alignment.

 

think about this for a second bro....

you have a dual cam zc motor. you want to put a single cam 1.6 head (which has 1 cam instead of two) on a motor that 2 cams instead of one. got it?

the answer is simply no.

but the pm6 is d16a6 (88-91 si/ex motor)

 

MARKTOPIA I can do on the spot alignments, but if you need camber adjustments you will need to get excentric (or how ever its spelled lol) bolts or some other form of a camber kit witch I coukld also install and align.
So lmk so we can work something out.

d16a1= 2 pm6 cams
its also a dohc motor with sohc internals. if it was a sohc head then im not retarded. thanks tho

 

There was no need for that guy to be an ass. but he is right it will not work.
I hope the alignment info helps.

i know it has d-series internals... it's the only dual cam d-series aengine.

 

'86-'87 D16A1 = stronger rods, vac distributor, blank engine ID

'88-'89 D16A1 = lighter rods, higher comp pistons, elec distributor, larger intake plenum (manifold), stamped D16A1 on engine ID.... i bought <

'86-'89 D16A1 ZC = same as D16A1, but more agressive cams and larger intake plenum.... mine that blew <

'88-'91 Honda D16A8/9 ZC = same as D16A1 ZC, but motor mounts are different.
