Apr Head studs. Same for GSR and Type R?

I have a b16b block which as we all know is a destroked teg type r engine. So i got APR head bolts for a teg r engine.

I am now getting a b18c4 block which is the same as a b16a2 block. Can i use the same head studs? I will be using the b16b head with b18c4 block. Is this alright?

Are they interchangeable between the b16 and b18 blocks and heads?

HELP PLEASE

Josh

fwiw, b16b + b18c blocks are all the same, ive never heard of a b18c block sharing the same deck hight as a b16a block.

you should be able to use them studs on your b18c(as it should be the same block as the b16b)

nope. only the b16b shares deck heights with b18's. b16a's are shorter.

match the studs to the block
