I can't seem to find any information on the 2.2L head bolts in the 90 accord. Are they torque to yield type (meaning they must be replaced each time head is removed) or not?

 

I tried to reuse them once, first time I hit nitrous, they stretched. ARP studs came shortly there after..

 

many people dont replace them and get away with it, like the valve cover gasket if its in ok shape, the helms doesnt say it but the understanding is to replace them, but for the cost of new headbolts you can get arp studs that can be reused....

 

What is a good place to buy the studs, and how are they installed? Oil on the block threads like usual and then oil the stud and nut, and also what about torque? I should mention that this is a daily driver NOT a racer.

These are the ones you need. They include installation instructions which is good, because I can't remember. They are great even for a daily driver because if you ever need to pull the head again, you will save a few bucks.

thats where i got mine from, also look in the marketplace section for his thread, the code for free shipping is in there, its something like hondatech or honda-tech but i cant remember exactly....u may want to call them cuz when i ordered them the h22 were out of stock and it took an extra 2 weeks to get them

 

That one says Prelude 2.3L not Accord 2.2L. I can't find the Accord 2.2L on their site.

you won't find it on their site, but like everyone is saying they fit perfect. I run them myself in an F23.

 

Interesting. OK, thanks.

NO!!!! that is only for the stock honda head bolts, if the op chooses to go with the arp head studs go by whatever arp says to, on mine you goto 80 if you use the arp lube, if you just use 10w30 on the studs you goto 120 ft/lbs....instructions - theyre there for a reason
