Don't know the clearance.

I changed my head gasket on my 94 ex about year and a half ago and I'm 99% sure all the headbolts are the same size. It never hurts to call the Honda parts dept. and ask.

there should be one longer bolt and i believe it is the one closest to the distributor and nearest the firewall. if my memory serves me correct.

ok, intake valve clearance is .007 in and exhaust is .009 in, if i remember correctly, also for many future numerical references, the Haynes or Chilton manuals are very useful.

Hope this helps

i just double checked, it is .007 in for intake and .009 in for exhaust

If you have an OEM hood, there might be a sticker underneath with the clearances listed. Are you asking about head bolts, or valve cover bolts?

thanks for the clearances, i would check my haynes but its in the car, which is not with me, as for the head bolts, my engine builder told me that one is longer then the other one, and the arp head studs i recieved, has them all the same length, anyone else run into this problem?

possibly one is upside down? or maybe it needs to be installed upside down. or maybe it was never needed to be bigger and arp realized it. who knows?
