Ive searched this, and it seems like there are different answers every time

b16 head, b18a block, LS/Vtec setup...

do i go with GSR Studs part number: 208 4303


or the b20 vtec w/b16 head... part number 208 4306

thanks in advance

 

if your using a b16 head then use b16 studs

 

NOOOOOOO!!! anytime you use a ls, b20, or gsr block you MUST use gsr head studs.. the b16a are too short.

 

thanks, this is what im talkin about... everytime I read I get a different responce..

so why is the b20 with a b16 head a different part number then the GSR studs?

Same studs, different part number.

 

100% sure?

 

According to ARP, yep.

 

what about LS headstuds?

WRONG, it depends on the BLOCK you are using. different deck hight = different studs.

ls headstuds wont work, because the 2 center studs are longer than the others.


the correct headstud to use on an LS/vtec or b20 vtec is a GSR headstud. the b16 ones are too short, and you will pull the threads out of your block with them.

ONLY reason why ls studs don't work is because the center two are too long, so if you can find two gsr headstuds or two "short" ls studs to replace the longer ones, it works perfect.

I found someone selling individual gsr headstuds for $10, so I bought two, and used them in my ls/vtec setup.

Try searching around H-T, I don't know of anyone off hand, the guy I bought mine from probably sold all of his.
