I currently have a D16Z6 block with a D16Y5 head. ARP makes 2 sets of studs for D series, one for D16Z and one for D16Y. Does anybody know which ones would fit my hybrid application?

 

whatever shortblock your using is the arp headstuds you will need to match your gonna have to go with the z6 ones. i just a did a built z6 block with d15b vtec head and the z6 arps headstuds worked fine

 

I was under the impression that it was the other way around; you use the head studs that match the head. Anybody else have some input?

 

Yeah the Y8 studs i think 1 is just longer i forget ur gona need the Z6 ones

Can anyone confirm that you use the head studs that match the block, not the head?

 

I bought D16Y headstuds to put my D16Y7 head onto my D16A6 block, and they were way too short. I ended up using D16Z6 studs, and had to run 4 extra ARP washers on the 2 studs at the back corners of the block/head. I suspect you will need to do the same. I think you need to match the studs to the shortblock but that's no garantee that it'll be a plug and play fit.

Go with the z6 studs!!

 

You have to buy the z6 studs plus 8 extra washers. The washers are about a buck a piece from ARP.

The washers can be found on the ARP website. The ones you need are 10mm unchamfered with a 3/4" O.D.
