i plan on building up my d16y7 im pretty sure i can do all the work myself but just looking for somewhere i can find out step by step how to replace pistons rods cam valves and installing a block gaurd. also i would like to know how to replace the timing belt i can do most of it but in pictures ive seen i cant really tell wut arrows they are talking about the pic isnt close enough. and my last question is where can i get forged pistons and rods for a y7 i cant find them online and where can i get the cam valves and springs for a y7 all i can find is y8 parts no y7....thanks in advanced for any help
ive searched like everywhere its all for d16y8 will y8 cams and valves work on a y7 head? any good y7 rebuild parts online? i can find y7 pistons and rods but cant find valves springs and cam
haynes are usually pretty good for explaining putting it back together. also the honda service manuals are floating around all over the net. might help ya out. hope it goes well, just got a y7 myself

Zex makes a good cam for the Y7/Y8 (zex 59300, works well for turbo)
Check ebay for Crower valves/springs/retainers for a Y7

Not aware of anyone that produces a cam for the y7. The only things offerred are regrinds. You can get that done at www.deltacam.com or www.bisimoto.com . As for valvesprings/retainers, they are all interchangeable for d16s.
VTEC cams do not work in non-VTEC heads...as stated though regrinds are available from Delta, also Gude and Web.
Any bottom end components for a Y8 will fit a Y7 (pistons, rods, etc) and as stated also the valvetrain components for Y8 fit Y7 too (springs, valves, retainers).
However as a few of us state in every thread like yours that pops up, if you want to keep the Y7 the first thing you should do is at least swap in a Y8 transmission. Especially for all-motor builds. Also you might want to pick up a spare head to port and build up, these Y heads need some grinding out to flow well up top with n/a builds. You are definitely choosing the most underdog of builds but it can yeild results.
Former member infinatenexus had a DX coupe all-motor with Delta cam and other stuff, d-i-y port job and he ran in the mid 14's. Builthatch had a more radical Y7 build and ran nitrous and hit mid/low 13's.
Hm. I was mis-informed then. Shit looks like I have to find a way to get a better cam while keeping the Y7 head
See the above posts...many have had success with a Delta 272 grind if going all-motor. If going turbo just keep the stocker or get a custom grind with a near-stock duration/overlap but more lift.
