Has anyone else installed ARP head studs on a H22A1 (close deck) engine?

I was curious if anyone else has run into any problems with the stud lengths.

I ordered a set and the part number is for the H22A4, and there is no part number the the H22A1. I called up ARP with the part number and ARP says there is no difference between the two.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks,

 

they are the same thing,

 

I can tell you they are NOT the same, I have tried them. The head studs are not the correct length.

The only thing I can guess is maybe the difference is because of the open vs. closed deck.

 

then i guess a lot of people are doing things wrong cause they work great on my closed deck h22a.

 

being open or closed deck does not change the deck height or dimensions of the motor.

i guess those idiots at ARP just don't know what they are doing they should be shot

 

I had the same question a long time ago.

I'm pretty sure the part #'s are different from Honda on the stock bolts too, but if they work then they work.

yes the stock ones are 6pt bolts on the 92-96 and 12pt bolts on the 97+ i believe. i am not sure what yr they made the change, but thats the difference, in the bolt head.
