Re: d16y8 or d16y7 cam
yes, but you must also swap the rocker arm assemblies. I did this temporarily when my cam broke. Swap in the Y7 cam and rocker arms, adjust the valve lash, and you are golden. I also disconnected the VTEC solenoid just in case (there are no oil passageways in the Y7 rocker arm assembly). Basically converts you to a non-vtec head. Good luck.
