B18PoweredCivic

Are there two different kinds for B series motors...I see that theres two different sets of headstuds.. some for b18c1 and c5 and others for b18b and b18a etc...Whats the deal?...Are they the same thing?...What would i use for LS Vtec?

yes there are two different sets, the heads are different.

for an LS/VTEC you use the kit for whatever head you have.

Main difference is the B18C studs are all the same length while the LS block has 2 longer studs in the middle

i'm gonna be using a b18c block with a b16 head in the near future
which ones should i use?

i did a bit of searching and it seems like the b16 studs are too short for the ls/vtec. everything i read in the archive's says that you are supposed to use the gsr ones when using either the b16 or the b18c1 head. i do not know for sure though, so if anybody could confirm this that would be cool.

on poormans type r setups b18c block and b16a head you need the 5303 vtec head studs b18c
