Will a d16y8 tranny fit a d16z6?

Will a d16y8 valve cover fit a d16z6 engine? Can a d series valve cover fit all d series vtec engines?

• I'm looking to buy this really nice valve cover that was off a d16y8. It looks very similar to the d16z6 engine I have in my del sol, I'm wondering if it would fit?

• Answer:

  Yes, it will fit. D16Y8 and D16Z6 parts are very universal. Note: what Abraham M said is not entirely true, for example: the older D-series engine(D15A, D15A1, D15A3) are not compatible with any other Honda engine, you can put a D16A head on a D15A block, but the engine will never be in correct timing and will never run right. Another example is the B20A4 and B20A5 non-vtec 88'-91' Prelude engine, you cannot put a vtec head on that engine, even though almost all other angines in the B-series are vtec(the B20B/B20Z CR-V engine is also non-vtec, but can be converted to vtec). Not all engines from the same letter series are compatible, even if they bolt up they may not run correctly.
