ARP head stud question....

[98_4drCivic]

will a6 head studs work with a y7 head? just making sure before I buy them.

what block?

well, i found the answer...

When using a 88-95 block and 96-00 head, you need 9 88-95 bolts, and ONE 96-00 bolt. Of course the shorter 96-00 head bolt goes in the corner where the vtec solenoid is or would be (passenger rear corner)

now the question is, should i try to track down one stud that will work, or just use a factory headbolt with the ARP's?

email ARP and see what they can do for you

yeah, thats probably a good idea.


rep for you!

will a y7 bolt thread into the a6 block?

^^ yes

the one shorter bolt goes closest to the timing belt on the intake side
