Almost positive that you want the b16 studs cause the GSR/LS/R blocks have the same deck height. but the b16 deck is shorter so id day b16

I always thought you have to get head bolts/studs for the head you use and not the block. Or is that only for studs?

When doing a combo like that, I always got what was meant for the block. So if your using a B16 block, use B16 head bolts, timing belt, tensioner and waterpump.

just spend some money on the B16 bolts. you want to do it right the first time, if not you might take off the head again and mess with it again.

It could be, since the deck height of a B18 is different than a B16... it could have thrown off torque readings when you were tightening down.

If its overheating, did you check the obvious? Replace the thermostat, make sure the fan is kicking on, bleed the air out of the system and etc?
