Re: mini me ?
Yes use the y8 headgasket, due to being made of metal.
No, do NOT use the y8 timing belt. The issue with the timing belt is this. If you use the z6 timing belt, it will go on, tightly. People say at high rpms, it will whine a little bit. If you use the vx timing belt it will fit, loosely, but should not be too bad.
At the moment I have the d15b7/d16z6 mini me, using the z6 timing belt, and it never whines at any rpms. Just make sure the head you are using isn't warped and the block on the b7 is flat.
Use the ex dizzy as well. Speculation with many d-series people believe that if you use the z6 cam gear, your cam timing will be 4.5 degrees retarded, and to compensate you are supposed to use the y7/y8 camgear. I do not know if this is correct or not, but I am using the z6 gear.
Good luck and make sure it is done right.
