Default 01 Civic Head Identification

Can anyone here tell me if the PL-3 head will fit a D15 like the Z6 or Y8?
When buying the head gasket for the Z6 or Y8 why are they different even though they both bolt up to the D15?

its a d17. it really has nothing in common with the rest of the d series family. like how the b20a shares nothing else with the rest of the b series family.

The engine is a d17. The ex has the d17a2 which has the vtec head. The dx, lx has the d17a1 which has the non-vtec head. I think the hx has the d17a2 with a little different work involved because of vtec-e. The bolting system on the head has changed. The displacement is different on the two engines as well as the electrical setup. The older d series has a return fuel system, while the new d17 series has the returnless fuel system.

Completely different engines.

Thanks for the info..My brother bought a 95 Z6 head for $140 with a valve job. Is that a good price?
