  • Honda engines covered

    The 1.5 litre D15B and the 1.6 litre D16A6 are Honda single camshaft, 16 valve four-cylinder engines. They power the Civic IV and V and the CRX II and III from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s.

    They have 8 exhaust valves. On the D15B, the original part 14721-PM3-000 has a 5.5 mm stem and a 118.7 mm length, with a 24.9 to 25.1 mm head; it is held by the 14781-PJ7-003 collets.

    SUPERTECH and FERREA reinforced exhaust valves

    On a naturally aspirated engine, the metal of an exhaust valve head reaches 760 to 870 °C, and more than 1,000 °C once a turbo is added. Heat leaves mainly through the seat, about 75 %, and through the guide, about 20 %. EV8 family steel is the benchmark for the original part: 550 MPa at 600 °C, 300 MPa at 800 °C. An overheating head fatigues, distorts and no longer closes its seat.

    The SUPERTECH HEVN-1003 is made of black nitrided stainless steel, a treatment that hardens the surface and reduces stem wear in the guide. The FERREA F1857P and F1858P are made of Super Alloy, a nickel-based superalloy, in the Competition Plus range.

    The F1858P takes the head to 26 mm: burnt gases leave faster and power increases, provided the exhaust seats are machined to this diameter.

    Check the groove of the chosen valve against the original 14781-PJ7-003 collets before reassembly.

    At 25 mm, the seats keep their diameter; with the 26 mm F1858P, the 8 exhaust seats are machined to size.

    On the D15B, Honda fits the 12210-PJ7-003 and 12211-PJ7-003 valve stem seals (1988), replaced in later years by PZ1 part numbers.

    When reinforced valves become necessary

    • Sharper camshaft or stiffer springs
    • More frequent high revs
    • Turbo conversion
    • Track sessions
    • Cylinder head rebuild with marked exhaust valves

    Important: one set of 8 covers a complete engine. The F1857P and F1858P are intended for the D16A6 only: on a D15B, choose the SUPERTECH HEVN-1003.

    Don't forget the inlet valves

    For a rebuilt D15B or D16A6 cylinder head, also consider the inlet valves and the valve stem seals.
