Well i assumed y8 because i wanted to match the studs to the head. Well the y8 studs are WAY too short.

So what headstuds are you running on your mini me with an A6 block and a y8 head.

I havent found any part numbers for ARP A6 studs, im guessing i have to go with Z6?

someone correct me if im wrong but im almost positive that the A6 and Z6 are the same length. i used the z6 in my a6 when i did a mini me. i would suggest either getting ARP or gettting brand new ones from the factory b/c the stock ones stretch and the gasket will leak.

 

i used my factory a6 head bolts on mine. I konw people claim that 1 of them is too long but i didn't notice and i have 5k miles on it so far with no issues.

 

yea i used all a6 bolts and one y8 bolt near solenoid. I never tryed to see if all a6 would work tho.

 

A6 = Z6 when it comes to ARP headstuds

And I believe you need to have two Y8 headstuds when mounting the Y8 head on an A6/Z6 block, I just don't know where those two would be at since I've never tried it.

 

no, use all a6 head bolts and ONE y8 bolt near the vtec solenoid (Rear dizzy side) ive had my mini me done for a while with plenty of abuse and no problems..
