Do i need to get new headstuds for my ls block if im putting a GSR head on it, or will my LS ones work? I have ARPs already if that helps.

edit: i checked c-speedracings ls/vtec setup and all they say are "now attach your new head to the block by tightening the headstuds in a star pattern."

 

You cannot use your LS studs. You need bolts/studs for a VTEC head.

 

anyone know how much a set of headbolts from acura for a GSR costs?

 

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the GSR head studs are a little longer than the LS one's. This is why most people recommend you use headstuds for a GSR. However, I think ARP has come out with a set of headstuds especially for lsvtec's.

 

Yeah, check out ARP,plus spending the extra will be worth it in case you have to take the head off again.

true... i keep forgetting about ARPs re-usability. I've taken the head off my LS block probably 6 or 7 times in a year and im definatly glad i got the ARPs.

Thanks for all the help guys

u need gsr/itr head bolts
i think the ls has the 2 middle bolts which are longer
for a gsr/itr all the bolts are the same size
