just enquiring is it worth my time swapping a d15b7 engine to a d16y1 if so how much do i have to change over from the d15b7 i drive a 95 EG8 civic with automatic transmission or am i better off trying to source a d16z6 motor only enquiring because my d15b7 blew a head gasket for the 2nd time in 6 months and thinking that replacing the motor would be a viable option

No one ever replaces the head gasket properly so they blow again pretty soon after.
Not sure what the D16Y1 is but it's probably OBD2. I would suggest getting an OBD1 replacement ie the JDM D15B, a D16Z6 or its JDM ZC equivalent. Even better would be an OBD1 B18B.
