B16-A2 Head needed
Okay, one of my buddies and I are going to pull an engine swap for him in the next few weeks, He is looking for this head, I'm sure you all know that it is a dohc vtech head from a 96-99 si. if any of you know where to get one at a reasonable price, he would be very happy.

If it's a USDM motor the dohc motor was only avaliable in '99-'00. On the si. And it's VTEC not VTECH, we don't drive with phones under our hoods.

That isnt true. It was also available in the states on the 93-97 del sol vtec model. All the b16a heads are the same, so it really doesnt need to be an a2. You could get an a3 or an a1 (if you could find one) as well, and it wouldnt make any difference other than wiring (which could be a problem if you dont know what youre doing). Your best bet is either importautosalvage.com, ebay, or junk yards. I dont think many motor shops will just sell you a head. What Im wondering is what block youre planning to put the b16a (there is no "-") head onto. |

u sure pdiggs I thought the del sols where all A3's. From my understanding the A2's were all JDM spec SirII engines. Of course I may be wrong here.

very sure
my buddy's 97 vtec sol is stamped a2 and its the original engine another 96 vtec that he almost bought was also a2 I suppose its possible that they had different engines put into them, but the chances of that are slim to none. (Both were owned by older women) |

actually, the JDM b16 has no numbers after it. ITs just a b16a. I swear to god
 . i have a couple spare blown blocks to prove it too, goddamnit. SI = A2 Del sol = A3...usually. but in japan theres no number. its just got .2 more compression and a little better flow.done and done.
