I have a d16z6, Im putting my head back and one of the headstud stick out longer than the other ones. The holes have been clean and air, the stud have been installed the right way is this normal? is the one to the far left corner

 

arp recommends re threading the holes, so that stud probably didnt go all the way down

 

What is the part number of the box of ARP head studs? There's one that says D16Y, and from what I've heard, one of those will be longer.

 

is it the upper left corner that sticks up farther? If i remember right the upper left corner of mine sitting up a little higher because the head was higher there

 

I was under the impression the upper left came out farther. I could be wrong as I dont have much experience with SOHC's. I would like to know for sure though.

thats what i meant

 

its been awhile since i fooled with a single slam but it seems that there was a bolt or two that were longer. is there and of them that look like it might set to low?

 

Well, we-todd-did-racing just took a **** on my face, so I can't get pics up.

I tried to link pics to my z6 block with ARPs sticking out. One is definitely higher. That is normal.

 

Totally normal...

The head is thicker in the top left corner... put the head on and you will see that all of the head studs stick out the same amount above the head.

Don't be alarmed. I thought it was kinda weird when I did mine until I put my head back on and realized it was okay.

 

THanks for the help, is normal

 

old thread, but glad it was here to help me. Just installing my arp into my z6...I was stump when the far left one was higher.
