96-2000 Civic Ex correct?
I had one in my crx. It was actually pretty torquey for a D-series and pulled pretty strong.

Re: Honda question
The y8 has a better low end than a z6 but unfortunately the high end is not as good. The intake manifold has a different design. If I wasnt swapping my whole motor I would put a z6 mani on my y8 head BUT I guess I will just leave it alone and pull it out to make room for a B series.

when i had the Y8 in my crx...I had kept it OBD-0 and thus used the SI intake manifold of the A6 and I felt like it was more powerful cuase when i put the Y8 intake manifold on, It felt alot slower and i was getting beat by what i had beaten several times before.

I dont know if that tells you anything but im guessing you have no real knowledge of what you are talking about..Also The 4 "notches" on the top of each piston are valve reliefs cut into the piston.

Why do you think he should quit giving advise?
I listen to alot of things he says, and never seems to actaully be wrong. seems to be the wiser
