IF YOU WANT TO RUN ARP STUDS ON Z6 BLOCK/Y8 HEAD YOU NEED THE FOLLOWING:

1) Z6 STUD KIT
2) PN# AM6.100-1LB DIRECT FROM ARP (1 piece)*

* This piece will replace the Z6 stud in the corner where the VTEC solenoid is located on the Y8 head. You need this part and neither a Z6 stud or Y8 stud will work. PN# AM6.100-1LB has same pinch/diameter as Z6/Y8 except it is between the two in terms of its length...perfectly fitting the application.

Wow, what a pain in the ***.

Thanks though.

Edit- I may as well just find a z6 head...

 

I figured one of the studs didn't match up right. Because I was putting one together and neither the Y8 or Z6 studs worked.

AgentJam your are king for having that info

No way man...lol why is it so hard?

You just have to get a z6 kit...then order PN# AM6.100-1LB from ARP (i had it overnighted for like $20 shipped - i was in the middle of my build).

LOL no prob man...you should have seen me. I was in the middle of a build and needed the car running in like 3 days. I had bought both Y8 and Z6 ARP stud kits and with all those studs couldn't get it all together because of that one location.

Ohhh you want to use stock...well...you "could" try and use all the y8 studs.

BUT, that one location near vtec solenoid...the stud will not bite into block anymore than 3/4" and i'm afraid if you tightened that you'd risk cracking the block. Possible...but i wasn't risking it.
