yes. ls/vtec is like forcing a round peg into a sqaure hole as far as bolting the head onto the block. ARP head studs will go a LOOONG way into making sure the head stays on nice n tight.

You can use the GSR or ARP makes the LS/VTEC head studs suppose to be specifically for LS/VTEC but could just be reboxed GSR studs. Never measured them. Try the sponsored marketplace. AEBS also makes nice studs too
